Travel agencies always advertise that you are saving a bundle of money if you book the flight and hotel stay as a package. The truth is that you will actually only save something like 5% (if you are lucky) of the original cost. The savings of booking an airfare and hotel package are usually between the ranges of 2 – 6%.

Make use of the airfare and hotel package if you wanted to book a hotel stay in the one of hotels offered by the booking agent. Don’t be tempted to get a hotel just because you think you are saving a lot of money by getting the package. It is possible to book a cheaper hotel yourself. It is also better to use the combo when you fly during a peak season or book a last minute flight.
