Why Online British Tour Operators Offer the Best-Value Holidays

Some of Britain's top airlines have recently hit back against Air Passenger Duty (APD) in a campaign called Axe the Tax, in response to the Chancellor's recent announcement of its rise from next April.



    ESSEX, ENGLAND, December 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In an extraordinary act of alliance, Chief Executives of Virgin Atlantic, IAG (International Airlines Group - British Airways' parent), Ryanair and easyJet came together to launch a campaign against the proposed increase as initially indicated in his Budget Statement back in March (a double-inflation rise was confirmed in last month's Autumn Statement). Despite APD raising just over GBP2 billion a year, the economy suffers in terms of jobs and business opportunities, plus it also affects the British families that book their holidays, for example taxes for Florida holidays in 2012 total up to GBP300.

Fortunately, there are many excellent online independent British tour operators out there constantly sourcing new deals, which are able to offer some of the best on the market. Virgin Atlantic holidays to Florida are one of the most popular, booked with companies such as Ocean Florida, not least due to their trusted brand and high-quality, direct flights from a number of UK airports to Orlando and Miami.

Ocean Florida's '5 Reasons to Book' promise free value-added extras with their holiday, including Kids Eat Free passes, welcome starter packs in Orlando villas and free additional driver when you hire a car. You can also book your ATOL-protected package with a low deposit, take advantage of their UK call centre and US local welcome centre in Orlando, plus there are no hidden fees or taxes to pay - what you see is what you get.

The sort of dynamic packaging that Ocean Florida and many other travel agents offer, allow customers to take advantage of excellent-value deals, flight sales and negotiated rates on accommodations. Florida villas in particular are popular with Brits, with hundreds of beautiful resort communities in and around the Orlando area, as well as a smattering of stunning homes and condos up and down the State's Gulf and Gold Coasts.

Twin centre holidays are also increasingly becoming a British favourite, with more and more holidaymakers opting for multiple destinations in the USA, creating a unique itinerary that offers flexibility and superb value. A week in sunny Florida could be combined with a few whirlwind days in New York or a few try-your-luck days in glittering Las Vegas.
