At Virgin Holidays, we believe amazing service should come as standard. That’s why Virgin Holiday’s magic touches are made available to all Virgin Holidays customers – not just the VIPs!

We realise that you want to make the most of being on holiday, so we came up with Check in, Chill out, so you can check in for your flight without leaving the beach…or bar.  Airports are a drag.  The holiday only really starts when you get to your destination.  And if you’ve got kids, then airports are living nightmares.  So, to perk up the airport experience, we came up with the VRoom. And when you’re on holiday, you want to make sure it’s as good as it can be.  That’s where Virgin Holidays’ Concierge service comes in – a concierge actually tuned in to the buzz of your destination, not a guy in a suit on kick backs from rip-off restaurants. This belief is what sets Virgin Holidays apart from the competition. That’s why we actually encourage our customers to ‘Ask For the World’.

But how do you express that exclusive treatment in a single thought.  What do Virgin Holidays offer that no-one else does?  We think it can be described as…

“ROCKSTAR SERVICE”

It’s a level of care you’d normally associate with the glamour and excitement of the entertainment elite.  Made available to every Virgin Holidays customer.
 
The Rockstar Service campaign is the latest creative expression of this belief. With Virgin Holidays, you can rest assured that you’ll get intuitive, imaginative typically brilliant twinkle-in-the-eye Virgin service, every single time you travel with us.

The coast of Southern Europe is fully turned towards the Mediterranean Sea, and that in itself is probably its biggest asset. It’s a sea full of wonderment, the Mediterranean, and there really is no end to the beauties it offers or to the surprises it has in store for you. The south coast of Europe is also a location full of different moods and vibes that has something for every pocket and for every taste. Whether you’re staying in one of the many holiday villas in Spain or in a five star hotel in the French Riviera, it’s unlikely that you’ll be disappointed by the surroundings or the atmosphere.

People from the South of Europe are among the friendliest in the World. It’s amazing to see the difference, for example, between people from the South of France and people from the North of the same country. Let’s just say that the bad reputation the French have doesn’t come from the South at all.

But it’s not all about Spain and France. Italy is full of treasures to unveil, and the amazing towns and villages near the coast are too many to number. And if this isn’t enough to convince you, pay a little visit to Greece.

When it’s time for you to pick a hotel to stay at, you need to consider your options. Naturally, the first step is to figure out what you want out of your hotel. Are you only staying there to sleep and rest, or do you intend to spend more time there, and use the facilities? If you picked the second option, than you’ll have to go for a more expensive hotel. This raises a lot more problems, the biggest of which will revolve around your holiday budget – and not breaking it. There’s no need to break the bank or get a loan to go and stay at a fancy hotel, just use your head and be smart about your bookings.

Let’s say you’re going on a trip to Dorchester, in the South of England. You might find that, being a relatively large town, hotel room prices are a little inflated. But the average price of Dorset hotel rooms isn’t that big, as the countryside hotels balance it out. So you need to decide just how important it is to stay in the center of Dorchester in an average hotel or go a little further away from the big city and stay in a better hotel for a similar price.

If you’re considering booking a budget vacation for your next holiday, there are a few things you should know. Traveling with a small wallet isn’t hard, and doesn’t limit your choices and opportunities. Many popular vacation destinations around the globe are catering to budget travelers. Here are some tips to help you plan an affordable holiday.

No matter what budget you have to work with, you should always use comparative search engines to find the best prices. For both accommodation and airfare, you can quickly determine who has the best rates. Searching for cheap hotels and airfare will be your first order of business, considering these are the biggest expenses of any holiday. Being flexible with your vacation dates will also help you find a better price.

Another way to save money is to consider booking all your vacation details in one package. Reserving everything at once, on one site, can make you eligible for fantastic offers and special discounts. Booking through a travel agent, who provides all inclusive packages, can also save you big money. Budget travel can range from the penny pinchers, to those looking to save cash for whats really important on a holiday, such as shopping and fine dining!

If you choose to stay in London, you’ll find many London Hotels are accommodating and moderately priced. London is a very popular destination, which makes for competitive prices all over the city. However, just a few miles outside this busy city, you can find more quaint neighborhoods with quiet accommodation and personalized service. You can choose to rent a car and drive into the city, and still have a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day. This is particularly ideal when you are escaping busy city life on your vacation. A true holiday is in an environment opposite to your every day life, so escape to England today!

Hostels also accommodate large groups, where hotels do not. If you are traveling with a group of friends, hostels offer large rooms and group-booking discounts.

Depending on your traveling interests, a hostel can be the perfect choice for you. If socializing is a big part of what makes a holiday memorable for you, or your budget just doesn’t allow an expensive hotel, the choice is easy.
