    Hi... am interested in sorting out a family holiday in the sun for 2020 and get it booked off and in the diary. Would love to get a payment plan organised and pay off same over next 10 months to help cash flow.

    Anyone out there that did that in past and who do you recommend. I am looking at Spain or Portugal including the Canaries etc.

    Hope you can help... thanks in advance

    We used gohop.ie for a trip to Vegas for that exact reason. Think it was €200 deposit and then €100 a month with the option to pay more if you wanted to some months. Just once it was paid before holiday date they didnt seem to mind. They have offices on Pearse Street in Dublin too. Wouldnt hesitate to use them again or recommend them tbh

    We used loveholidays last year, we paid about 350 upfront and paid the rest in set monthly installments. There a reminder text each month a few days before each installment.
    I think they work it out so you are fully paid 6 weeks before travel.

    we walked into a tour operator bricks & mortar shop a couple years ago and paid monthly for a holiday the following summer

    it was a branch for TUI, I can post the name here if allowed?

    It's actually cheaper to book tui online and you can pay online whenever you want. I have used them a lot in the past few years.

    But, I have to say tui are quite expensive this year and any of the places I've looked( lanzarote, Portugal,tenerife) have awful flight times.

    I booked the sol lanzarote direct with the hotel app (aerlingus flights) in March for july just gone for 4 of us for €2800 all inclusive for 12 days.tui was €3300 for 10 days!!


    Loveholidays seems to be good this year. I think I'm going to book direct again

    Book direct and get a loan from the credit union.

    Cassidy travel website also have a good system. I booked New York for myself and my wife. Cost of trip was about €1400. €51 total deposit paid at booking and then you can just pay what you like online, whenever you like, so long as it was paid in full by a certain date.
