Book Holidays Direct offers an easy to use search facility for self packaged holidays and cheap flight deals and lets you decide throughout the search process what is best for you. For years now cheap package holidays can look good on paper, on the web and on Teletext but when it comes to actually finding the offer its either impossible to find, or difficult to book.

Whether you are looking for a cheap self catering holiday or an all inclusive holidays in the Caribbean, our dynamic holiday search system will show you the best deals available for your budget, your time frame and your departure point. One of the benefits of using BHD is that we show you (where available) the cheapest flight which could be with either a low-cost carrier like Easyjet, a charter airline such has Thomas Cook or a scheduled flight from British Airways. Once you decided on how to reach your destination  we offer a great range of hotels and apartments, varying from one star right through to five star accommodation, depending on whether you want cheap and cheerful or a luxury holiday.

Our easy to use direct holidays search facility will also let you pre-select the board level you require, and to save you wasting time trawling through  deals that are of no interest to you. Whether you're after the ultimate lazy break and chose all inclusive, or would rather eat out somewhere different every night with a self catering or bed and breakfast deal, we show you a wide range and let you choose what's best for you.

As an additional help we have listed some of the best value for money holidays. hotels & apartments on each destination page for you to browse. These holidays and hotels have been visited by a previous customer of our group and they have found that the hotel offered "what it said on the tin". We appreciate it's difficult selecting holiday accommodation and even checking on the webs holiday review pages is no guarantee as one guest idea of a holiday in heaven is another holidaymakers holiday from hell.

We strongly believe that we offer the best prices available but we don't expect you to take our word for it so we always show a price comparison link on every resort page. This will show you the best holidays from all the major tour operators, including holidays from Airtours, First Choice, Thomas Cook and Thomson.

Another benefit of using our dynamic search is that it will show you a range of accommodation available that fits your groups size. Unfortunately, many hotels - especially those on the Spanish Costa's, can't sleep more than three guest in a room so if your a normally family of two adults and 2.4 children you could spend days trying to find the right hotel for you. With BHD all you need to do is enter the number of adults and children (under 12 on the day of return) and we will only show you hotels and apartments that fit your requirements. If you have infants in your party then run a search omitting the baby to find a price but call us before booking. This is due to the fact that airlines charge a small fee to carry the infant and the hotel may class the infant as an occupant although not charging for the baby.

New! If you have a disability and require a hotel room for the disabled or you're just looking for a hotel that suits the less mobile then check out our new special needs page to see nearly 80 specially selected hotels that offer handicapped rooms.

Our search facility is always up-to-date and will only return flights and accommodation that have availability for your chosen dates. It can be very frustrating finding the ideal holiday only to be told that it's no longer available.
