Travel Vacation Packages
Vacation packages are convenient ways to get the most out of your vacation. Whether it's a trip to Walt Disney World Resort for the kids, or an anniversary trip to Puerto Vallarta for you and your spouse, you can't go wrong by purchasing vacation package options. There are bundled trips available to fit nearly any destination wish you have.
What is included in a vacation bundle?Trips will vary in what they include. When purchasing, be sure that you clearly understand what is included and what is not. However, many deals often include such things as:
- Hotel accommodations: A certain number of nights at a certain hotel or a hotel with a specified star rating.
- Airfare: A specified number of tickets on a certain airline.
- Park Hopper Passes: Credits in a specified dollar amount that you can use towards food at your hotel, a resort, or a theme park. They may be good for several full meals, or they may be simply dollar amounts that can be applied against your total bill.
- Local transportation and airport transfers: There may be a car or bus service to and from your hotel and other attractions.
Although some deals may include these things, most will not. Be sure you check your information to see what is included before making your final purchase. Even when you purchase a package, you will be responsible for any tips during your trip and any incidentals you incur at your hotel or resort, including food and beverages. However, with some bundled deals, you may be able to purchase travel insurance for an additional fee.
Are there trip packages for many different destinations?Trip packages can be purchased for locations all over the world. Although the most common packages are for places like Disneyland, Disney World, Orlando, Hollywood, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas, you can find packages to nearly any destination you please. Other potential destinations include:
- Iceland
- England and Ireland
- Spain, Paris, and Berlin
- Bali
- Hawaii
This will depend on the individual trip. However, there is generally some flexibility in your dates when you purchase a vacation package. Many can be purchased one to two years in advance. If you are looking for a last-minute getaway, some can be booked within as little as a week or two.
