We know from our 20+ years of experience that our guests want to quickly fly to Andaman Holidays to start their holiday. Seldom do people consider the sea route unless they are close to the port city. The only other reason they would consider travelling by ship is if they travel once too often and don’t want to subject themselves to fluctuating flight cost to Andaman.
When people come looking for Andaman tour packages to our website, many want to look at an all inclusive price so that it helps them easily budget for their holiday. We understand your quick need to arrive at an amiable figure and do trust us that we want to expedite your process of getting there. Having said that, we have chosen not to include flight cost to Andaman in our packages.
There are quite a few reasons for this, but the primary one is that we don’t want you to pay more that you should at any point – peak season or not. Here’s why you should choose your Andaman package minus the air fare
1. Air fare changes when travelling from different regions: Andaman receives tourists and travellers from all parts of India and beyond. The air fare varies largely depending on where you travel from and the season and availability. This makes it difficult for us to offer a flat rate to our guests without over charging or under charging some of you. This is unfair to both you and us
2. Air fare inclusion makes the package price volatile: For people who want a clear picture of their costs, adding air fare to the base cost doesn’t allow us to give you an accurate picture of your stay and travel when you are with us
3. Air fare varies as per season and availability: Because this has a sizeable impact on your overall budget, you may choose to alter your itinerary dates as per your budget and availability. We don’t want to tie you down with no options
How and when to book your flights
It need not be a chicken and egg when it comes to deciding whether to book your flights first or hotel accommodation. The best way to do this is have 2-3 date options when you want to book.
First, do a quick check on OTA sites on the flight ticket availability for your dates. If you have these zeroed in, quickly connect with an Andaman Holiday travel expert who can get back to you within a day on the hotel availability. You will be then able to block both your air tickets and your accommodation in a 24 hour window.
As with popular routes, no time is better than now. The sooner the better works for booking flight tickets. You know when your children are likely to have a vacation. Newly weds have their dates planned months in advance for their Andaman honeymoon. Use this to your advantage to book your flights in advance.
Go for refundable tickets in case your plans are likely to change last minute: Refundable tickets are invariably more expensive but their flexibility is a valuable asset to people who think their holiday can be cancelled last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. It’s not the best case to go for it but you can do it in case you aren’t sure of your vacation plans.
