5 Package Holiday Providers Compared

5 package holiday providers.
A clearer way to choose.

Compare Jet2holidays, TUI, easyJet holidays, loveholidays and On the Beach to find a booking approach that suits your next trip.

The right holiday starts with more than a tempting headline price. Look at your flights, hotel, luggage and transfers together, then compare the complete trip you actually want to book.

A package holiday should make planning easier

Bringing flights and accommodation together can simplify a holiday search, but packages are not all built in the same way. One quote might already include checked luggage and transport to your hotel, while another lets you choose those extras separately. Both approaches can work well when you understand what you are comparing.

This guide compares published booking information and practical considerations rather than personal travel experiences. The five providers form a shortlist, not a tested ranking. Prices, routes and inclusions depend on your chosen holiday. The image is illustrative and does not show a verified hotel offered by any provider.

OPTION 01 · PACKAGE CONVENIENCE

1. Jet2holidays

Jet2holidays brings return Jet2.com flights, accommodation, checked baggage and hotel transfers into its standard package offering. Its advertised 22kg baggage allowance and included return transfers make it a useful reference point when comparing the full cost of a holiday.

The practical question is whether the available trip fits your routine. A nearby departure airport, comfortable flight times and the right hotel location may be more useful than a small saving elsewhere. Look closely at the room description and board basis too: the same hotel can offer quite different experiences depending on the booking.

OPTION 02 · HOLIDAY VARIETY

2. TUI

TUI gives travellers a broad starting point for exploring beach holidays and city breaks. It can be helpful when you have a general idea of the experience you want but have not yet settled on a destination or hotel.

Begin with the facilities that matter to your party. Families might prioritise pool layouts and suitable rooms, while couples may prefer a quieter setting and convenient dining. Check the individual package rather than assuming every holiday has identical inclusions. The operating airline, baggage allowance, transfers and specific accommodation details all deserve attention before comparing the final price.

OPTION 03 · FLIGHTS AND HOTEL TOGETHER

3. easyJet holidays

easyJet holidays combines easyJet flights with accommodation. Its beach holidays include transfers and a 23kg hold bag per eligible passenger, with exceptions for infants. City breaks have different arrangements: baggage and transfers can be added during booking.

That distinction matters when comparing similar-looking quotes. Identify the holiday type first, then check the actual allowance and transfer provision. Think about how the flight schedule affects your time away as well. A departure that fits your working week and a return journey that leaves enough time to get home can make the overall trip easier to manage.

OPTION 04 · CHOOSE YOUR EXTRAS

4. loveholidays

loveholidays operates as an online travel agent, bringing together services from travel suppliers. Its booking summary shows your flights, accommodation and any extras you have selected. Transfers are generally an additional choice rather than part of the initial search price.

This approach can suit travellers who want to decide how much luggage they need and how they will reach the hotel. Build the trip you intend to take before comparing prices. Check the airline’s baggage and check-in rules, then consider whether a shared transfer, private transfer or independently arranged journey works best for your arrival time and group.

OPTION 05 · BEACH HOLIDAY PLANNING

5. On the Beach

On the Beach is an online travel agent offering access to hotel, flight and transfer suppliers. It provides another way to browse beach holidays and combine travel services around your preferred destination and dates. Baggage depends on your airline and booking, while transfers must be checked in the selected package.

Start with the hotel’s setting rather than its photographs alone. Distance from the beach, nearby restaurants and the journey from the airport can affect your daily plans. Once you have found a suitable stay, compare the complete booking with equivalent options elsewhere. Match the room, meals, flights and extras so that the prices represent genuinely comparable trips.

How to compare the complete holiday

Match the essentials

Compare the same dates, departure airport, hotel, room occupancy and board basis. A sea-view room, breakfast booking or earlier flight can explain a price difference that initially looks surprising.

Add the travel extras

Include the luggage, seats and transfers you want. Also consider getting to your UK airport and any local charges shown in the accommodation details. Compare a usable total rather than the first price in a search result.

Read the booking details

Check payment deadlines, amendment terms, cancellation conditions and contact arrangements. Save the final booking summary so you can refer back to the services and inclusions you selected.

Package holiday comparison FAQs

Which package holiday provider is best?

There is no single best provider for every trip. Start with your airport, dates, preferred hotel and travel needs, then compare complete bookings. The option that offers the right arrangements at a suitable total price is more useful than a general brand ranking.

Are baggage and transfers always included?

No. Inclusions vary by provider and holiday type. Some packages bundle baggage and transfers, while others let you add them separately. Always check the selected booking summary, including the allowance for each traveller.

Is an all-inclusive holiday the same as a package holiday?

No. A package describes how travel services are combined. All-inclusive describes the hotel’s meal and drinks arrangement. A package holiday can use different board bases, so read the hotel’s description to see precisely which meals, drinks and activities are included.

Why can the same hotel cost different amounts?

Quotes may use different flights, room categories, meals, baggage allowances or transfers. Booking conditions and available offers can differ too. Compare those details before assuming that two prices cover the same holiday.
