Cheap Honeymoon Packages
Michael asks…
Buy holiday package or just flight?
We are planning to go Maldives on our honeymoon end of April for 14 days. Is it cheaper to buy just flights and then find hotels there or we should buy holiday as package where everything is included?
admin answers:
You should definitely buy a package – the travel agents negotiate special deals with both the hotels & the airlines, due to bulk purchasing which you will be unable to do as an independent traveller.
If price is a concern, look out for special deals on the websites of the agents, and in the brochures.
Good luck.
Lisa asks…
where to honeymoon for $2000 for two ppl overseas including air?
I want to know what is the best deal you have come across for a trip overseas…anywhere. We are planning to elope this fall anytime from September to November for about 7-9 days. We will fly out of Nashville, tn or Chicago, il. I would like to know the cheapest airfare you have seen and/or vacation packages. We would really like to go to Rome, Italy but are checking out all options. You know what they say…”If the price is right…..
just thought I would add that I want airfare and hotel for $2000 or close to it. Don’t worry I have money budgeted for food and fun…..Please only respond with ACTUAL DEALS you have found. I am quite aware of all the travel sites….just don’t want to sit here and type in EVERY country and EVERY date…that’s why I asked on here…..
READ the entire post before replying!!!!!! Not asking for any personal opinions…there are a lot of places a person can go for $1000 for air and hotel….just want to see which ones you have found. Do NOT give me sites or offer opinions…If you are just trying to get points…do it somewhere else please!!!!!!!

You could probably manage this, but do you really want to ?
Every aspect of the trip would have to be the
lowest-cost option.
(Trafalgar Tours has a 1-week in London package for $835,
their only offering under $1000/person, not including air.)
Realistically, you would be better off finding a
nice place closer to home for your honeymoon,
and saving up for a while so that you could do this
right, with more time and more money,
rather than being jet-lagged, “bargain basement”
tourists for a week. (And newlyweds at that!)
Mary asks…
Did you have a better experience using a travel agent or buying a travel package online?
We are thinking about doing our honeymoon in Ireland or Italy, and were just curious what would be cheaper and the best experience.
admin answers:
I used to be a travel agent and on average our commission was about 10% on airfares and about 15-25% on tours and 40% on travel insurance. I would definitely book online or direct through tour companies to save hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars. The disadvantage to booking online is that you are the accountable one if flights are cancelled/booked incorrectly etc. The benifit of an agent is that they are accountable. Hope this helps you weigh up your options. Regardless of what you decide, you should definitely purchase travel insurance online.
