Pros

• Most packaged holidays in the UK are protected under the ATOL protection scheme. This means you’re guaranteed a refund if the airline or travel agency goes bust.
• Packaged holidays can be great for families who are travelling with young kids as organised entertainment at hotels is normally included in the price.
• Most packages are customisable so you can enjoy the perks of a packaged holiday while staying exactly where you want.

Cons

• If you’re the kind of person who enjoys spontaneity, pre-packaged holidays won’t be for you. Generally, meal times will be dictated to you and activities will be organised through specific providers. So, if you want to do something a little different, it will be at your own expense.
• As travel companies receive higher commissions for selling certain tours and packages, you may not always be encouraged to buy the holiday that suits your wants and needs.
• Most holiday packages cater to 7-, 10- or 14-day holidays, so if you want to go away for an irregular period of time, a packaged holiday might be difficult.
