BOOKING THE HONEYMOON

·         Secondly, just because you get a quote it doesn’t mean you have to take it: Even if the person you spoke ‘was really nice’ or the website you went to ‘was well laid out and easy to use’ it doesn’t mean that you should have any loyalty to them. In fact, on the contrary. Don’t be afraid to play companies off against one another to scramble to get those few extra pounds discount – we know it’s not usually the ‘British’ way, but just remember that every pound you save on the booking is a pound extra you can spend while your away.

·         Thirdly, book as early as possible: Last minute deals are possible, but often they are only as good as those attained when booking within weeks of a brochure being published. An early reservation will give you time to shop around and free up valuable time nearer the Wedding for other matters.

·         Fourthly, compare like-for-like: Some deals include insurance, whilst others bump you up to a room with a sea view. Pay close attention to the small print as sometimes things aren’t always what they seem.

·         And finally, follow your instincts: Nothing is certain in life, and things can go wrong in even the largest companies, so when booking trust your instincts. If ‘The Dodji Travel Co.’ come back with a great price but you have concerns that they may not be in business come the time of the Honeymoon, then steer clear of them. Likewise, if a reputable and long-established company who you have used before and trust provide a competitive quote, then it could well be worth paying the few extra quid for the peace of mind you will get booking with them.
