Taxi's - we would love to find a cheaper option - but where?
I tend to agree with Yannis on the total cost is king! - but the holiday must be what you want as well!
i.e. sometimes if you want a certain Hotel - or type of board - the price comes second in the priority ratings!!
We tend to travel only from Gatwick or Luton, with Stanstead as a third outside option.
We usually always have to drive unless we can get a lift, so parking at the airport is always included in our budget.
All airports are around an hour from us.
Then I find out accomodation costs, both indy and Thomsons, add a transfer if required.
The key can be the flight costs plus extra's v Package holiday cost - including all the so called extras on the plane.
PLUS - - - the other consideration is the food budget! Self catering/meals out v Half board
Some years it's cheaper to go indy, other years it's a package holiday, so many variables for us.
Gatwick usually comes up cheapest for us when we check, but we always cost the whole thing out,
and look at every option. If it's a close call, we would always choose the indy route as we love that holiday best!
This year we are taking the Family, Mark/Rita and both grandkids, plus Rita's young sister & her friend.
For this reason we decided to go half-board and booked the Athina when it came up and was cheap enough to be our first choice.
In fact we booked it through First Choice (still TUi), as it goes!
Myself and Linda it's fine - we can eat out when we like, my son has a tight budget so Half board means he can forget the price of meals, the kids can eat well and he only needs the price of drinks and a lunch snack if required.#
Whatever happens, he will eat every day, no one will go without.
Our best kind of holiday means we will eat out every day, but we like this as part of our holiday, so look at it differently, especially when we travel just on our own!
You take you choice basically, but which ever you choose you can't go wrong in San Stefanos!
