The Day After... moving on to thoughts of June

[Morbyd]

OK. Champions League matchdays are over. Probably time to drop the football talk for a couple of weeks, less this become UEFA Spotlight

I'll try... unless provoked

Now on to more important matters... do you guys think it's better to book my vacation through the UK or to fly from here (Moscow) and book hotel independently?

A flight to London would cost me $300-400 in June, unless I can catch a good deal. By contrast, my flight through Madrid or Barca to Ibiza would cost $500 - $600 depending on what kind of deal I can find.

I think most of us on the site who live in the UK book our holidays indenpendently either direct with the hotel or through a site like expedia, so I don't think you're going to gain an awful lot by booking your holiday through the uk.

Ah... for some reason, I had the impression a lot of people were getting package deals. I know I've seen posts about a couple of those that sounded interesting.

I would definitely say book your flights and hotel independently - so much more flexibility and the prices can be quite a bit cheaper. Sccoobs did find us a good deal on expedia for June - worth taking a look

You can get really cheap package deals, but I think most of them are in club 18-30 hotels or similar. I think they are mostly in San An. If you don't mind being over thet side of the island its worth a look, but I think most of us would prefer to be on the other side of the island, otherwise you end up spending a fortune in taxis.

Morbyd,


I don't belive on packages. I've just organised a trip to New YOrk and comparing to packages we saved 300€

Try to get a flight via Barcelona and we meet for a drink down las Ramblas

Flights from London - Ibiza round the time when you're looking to go Morbyd were bout £100 when we booked our a few weeks ago. Try easyjet or thomsonflights to get idea of prices now.

Ya, I stayed in the San An bay area my first time on the island. Definitely didn't like it. Since then it's been either Talamanca or PdB.

Good idea
