Booking all inclusive only use flights?

[tamirra]

Hi, has anyone ever booked an all inc cos the flights were cheaper and just never turned up to the appartment/villa and its worked out fine, if so how do we do it without getting caught and in trouble, hope im allowed to ask this question lol. x

[ummmm]

I don't know...

If you've booked an all inclusive including flights then the hotel will be paid. If you chose not to use it I can't see where the problem will be. They've been paid and you're not eating their food or drinking their drinks. Wouldn't that work out cheaper for them? Or you could just say you didn't like the hotel so booked somewhere else. You wouldn't be the first person who didn't like a hotel.

I agree with ummmm.

As long as you've paid for the package, it's up to you whether or not you use it all.

It's just like buying food from a supermarket ... nobody forces you to eat it !

[tamirra]

Do you think i should go for it then, cos there not going to know where im staying out there are they to come and beat me up lol, would you do it?

[ummmm]

Yes I'd do it...

Why don't you want to stay in this hotel though? (I'm nosey)

[tamirra]

Its not the hotel its the flights to Paphos are so expensive that it would work out cheaper for an all inc. x

[ummmm]

I understand that but why don't you want to stay at the all inclusive hotel?

[joggerjayne]

If it's cheaper than just buying a flight on its own, then yes ... go for it.

Trust the two of us ... nobody will come to find you. Holiday reps have got too much to do (contrary to the image of spending their whole lives on permanent holiday).

If you feel awkward, then make up some excuse about having booked the holiday, and then some close friends booked into another hotel, and you're going to be staying with them, and you'll be back in time for the flight home.

Nobody will care.

Although we will obviously have to send an email to the rep, dobbing you in, LOL !!

[joggerjayne]

ummmm ...

A possible answer ...

If the hotel is SO cheap (!) that even with a flight they can knock it out for less than the cost of a flight on its own ...

... then maybe it will have been featured too many times on "Holidays From Hell" ?

[tamirra]

Well the cheapest price i can get, just the flight is 311.00 thats with easyjet in Oct which is when we have booked our villa for 1 til 8 Oct, so an all inc would prob work out cheaper, plus we dont really want easyjet as we want to sit with partners and not someone we dont know. x

[redcrx]

didnt 4get do it last year. The company she had booked flights through had gone bust and she had a villa booked and couldnt get any good priced flight.

so she booked a cheap holiday to same town, got the hotel transfers thrown in and just used the hotel on last night

[tamirra]

You could always fly to larnaca with Cyprus airways then get a taxi to Paphos

[tamirra]

Larnaca to far away. x

[237SJ]

I`ve driven from Larnaca to Paphos. I`ve just looked at cyprus airways website and it`s £166 each. You could get one people carrier taxi from there.

[redcrx]

tamirra, an all inclusive holiday is one where you pay for all drinks and food. ie more than full board.

if you search for self catering it would be a cheaper holiday than a full board or an all inclusive.

what you are taling about is a package holiday, i think, where flight is included in cost of holiday rather than booked seperately.

[ummmm]

Yes Red...she's saying the all inclusive package is cheaper than flights only.

[tamirra]

Yes thats right, i need all inc cos its the flights i need not the hotel/aprt, as it works out cheaper for flights. x
