As illustrated in the table above, you have a range of airlines / holiday providers when it comes to booking a winter sun holiday from Bournemouth airport.
Once you’ve decided on your destination, we would usually recommend that you book a package holiday as you will often get better value than booking a flight only. Besides, the final price can be packaged together and include your flights, hotel, full baggage allowance, transfers and ATOL protection.
Second, it’s worth undergoing individual searches on each relevant website to see for yourself which would suit you better when it comes to dates, flight times, hotels and prices etc.
Ideally, you want to book directly with a company who will not only look after your flights, but the rest of your holiday too – benefiting from having everything managed by the same company without the need for a third party. TUI holidays fit the criteria in this instance.
That said, for the routes covered by Ryanair, we tend to recommend Loveholidays as one of the fastest growing online tour operators with a good reputation. They’ll often come out cheaper than TUI but not necessarily better value overall.
The above mentioned websites are fantastic in terms of user friendliness. Once you’ve tapped in Bournemouth as your departure airport followed by your winter sun destination you’ll only be presented with dates that are available for booking, which makes the process a lot easier.
Once you’ve selected your preferred dates you can then compare holidays and prices on a couple of different sites, knowing you’ve exhausted all convenient options, and knowing you’ll be getting the best price and protection by booking direct!
Rather than having to search for yourself which can be time consuming, my goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the most up to date and accurate flight information, laid out in an easy to digest format which allows you to more efficiently plan your trip.
We’ve compiled this information using flight aggregator tools such as Google Flights, whilst cross-checking these flight schedules directly with the airlines and travel companies mentioned above.
To accomplish this to a high degree of accuracy, I’m regularly checking flight schedules and relevant news stories from a range of sources, and have great experience in doing so for many different routes.
That said, flight schedules can move quickly so please do contact me using the email address at the footer of this post if you spot any inaccuracies or have anything to add – it would be much appreciated.
We hope you found this useful, and enjoy your winter sun getaway.
