Long Haul Holidays Holidays
A long haul holiday earns its flight time by delivering something Europe cannot — guaranteed winter sunshine, extraordinary landscapes, cultures that feel genuinely different from anything closer to home, or simply the kind of resort that exists only in the tropics. Packages from the UK include return flights, accommodation and transfers in a single ATOL protected and ABTA bonded booking, with departures from airports across the country. Whether you are planning a two-week beach retreat in the Maldives, a family adventure in Florida, a safari in Kenya or a city-and-coast trip through Southeast Asia, the package handles the logistics so you focus on the trip itself.
A long haul holiday involves a higher total cost, more complex logistics and more moving parts than a European break. Those three factors make the package format more valuable, not less, compared to booking each element independently.
Financial protection is the clearest advantage. A long haul package sold with flights is ATOL protected, which means the full cost of the trip — flights, accommodation, transfers — is covered if anything goes wrong with the operator. On a booking that may run to several thousand pounds, that protection matters significantly.
The logistics argument is equally strong. A missed connection on a long haul trip creates a very different problem from a missed connection to Malaga. Transfer arrangements in unfamiliar airports, hotel check-in at unusual local times, resort transfers at the other end — a package absorbs all of this and provides a single point of contact if any of it goes wrong.
Return flights from UK departure airports, including long-haul services from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham, with regional departure options where available.
Accommodation for the full duration of the trip, selected and priced as part of the package. Hotel category, board basis and room type are confirmed at the time of booking.
Transfers between the arrival airport and the hotel, included on most long haul packages. Resort transfers at the destination often involve a significant journey — knowing it is arranged removes the first logistical challenge of the trip.
Checked baggage is included on most long haul flights as standard, though allowances vary by airline and route. Confirm the allowance at the time of booking.
Optional extras — excursions, car hire, travel insurance, seat selection and room upgrades — are available and bookable at the time of reserving the package.
