There’s no mistaking it: the theme park season is upon us! Even with early booking discounts prices can still be way in excess of £100 for a family of four, and that doesn’t even include travel or food! So if you want to save a bit of cash or are just bored with the usual [...]
The French-owned island of Corsica is tipped to be one of the most popular Mediterranean island destinations of summer 2013, and there are certainly a lot to choose from, with Majorca, Ibiza, Santorini and Corfu plus many more all gunning for the honours! Corsica’s nearest neighbour is Sardinia, and despite French ownership the local culture [...]
The UN has announced this week that we, by which I mean people, not just the dealchecker population, need to eat more insects. In the words of Alice in Wonderland “I can’t very well have more”, precisely because I have never eaten a dish that knowingly contained insects. Unless you count that fly I accidentally [...]
If there is one thing I certainly can’t resist then it’s the lure of delicious food! This week’s offer from Great Little Breaks combines this with a stay in the countryside of south Devon, close to glorious beaches and Dartmoor National Park. Two nights start from £129 per person with no weekend supplement – that’s [...]
Holidays on the cheap are kind of our speciality, and if you love to stay in the UK it’s certainly worth exploring some of the amazing campsite available. It’s not all about pitching your own tent either – these days you could try glamping (that’s staying in a posh tent to you and me) and [...]
You may have seen our recent competition on our Facebook page, asking you to tell us what’s on your travel bucket list, with a prize of a bucket full of £150 of goodies. Well it got us thinking – some of the best holiday experiences are about luck. You know, that magical night when you [...]
Spring has promised much and so far, not really delivered. Despite blossom on the trees and a few plants showing a bit of colour, quite frankly it’s still not really flip flop weather! That’s why this week I’ve got really excited about this last minute deal to Lanzarote – all departures are this month! It’s [...]
It’s time to step away from the kebabs, leave buying Turkish delight for the airport and branch out when you’re on holiday in Turkey! There is plenty to keep you busy when it comes to trying new dishes, and we’ve done the legwork to suss out the best! Simit mattkrasue1969 This delicious bread is a [...]
We’ve come over all outdoorsy here at dealchecker – probably something to do with too long spent huddled up in winter coats or under blankets and the fact that spring has finally arrived! A day out in the fresh air surrounded by nature would hit the spot for us right now, and we won’t hear [...]
It’s a familiar story – you spy great prices on a city break with a low cost airline and are faced with the luggage dilemma. To add or not to add? If you choose to fork out around £40 for luggage, your cash reserves for enjoying yourself whilst you’re away will be depleted, but you [...]
It’s happened to all of us: you watch something on TV, you think it looks fabulous, and you start plotting your visit. And nowhere looks more photogenic, has been featured in so many hit TV shows, or has so many sides to it than the one and only New York. If you want to get [...]
We’ve been spotting a lot of great value Nile Cruise deals around at the moment but it can be tricky to know what to spend your money on when it comes to heading off on excursions. What is there to see? Is it worth it? And how can you prioritise if you can’t afford the [...]
Our intrepid Mother Hen (aka the person who looks after all our Real Deals subscribers) Zoe has been off travelling again, and has come back brown as a nut, with some decidedly dodgy Durian Fruit sweets and plenty of tales of Thailand. So of course we had to get her to spill the beans! But [...]
The weather has been so miserable for so long, we’d almost forgotten that elsewhere the sun still shines! So we headed off in search of places that are nice and warm, so we could put this question to you: how hot do you want it? Find out about all these destinations and other places where [...]
Is it just me or can a three-night city break set you back as much as a week of lying in the sun on a (fairly) exotic beach? Well with this £9 each way coach travel to Paris on National Express’s Eurolines there will be plenty left over in the pot for sampling the city’s [...]
As you may know, here at dealchecker HQ we’re fans of dressing up, and let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like a pirate theme. Donning an eye patch and peg leg is one thing, but shiver me timbers, there are whole pirate themed holidays out there! Weigh anchor and set sail for these pirate-themed holiday [...]
Sleepovers to a twelve-year-old me are about all-night gossiping, too many sweets, a cheesy film (or two, or three) and not much sleep, usually partially wedged under a sofa or too close to a table leg. Not much has changed since then I guess, apart from the locations – today you can sleep over in [...]
It would be a hard-hearted person indeed who’s never wanted to visit one of the Disney resorts, and the ultimate destination to indulge in this (perhaps slightly guilty) pleasure is at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. With six theme parks on the one site, you’re going to need a magic carpet to fit [...]
If you can learn one thing from the stampede to the “treats table” here at dealchecker, it’s that we love chocolate. And with Easter on the horizon we’re more than a little excited about all the Easter Egg hunts going on all over the country. Do you remember the Big Egg Hunt we tracked around [...]
It’s not too late to go large for St. Patrick’s Day this year with a trip to Belfast, where they are holding a four-day extravaganza from 15th – 18th March 2013. The highlight will be the parade on 17th itself, and there will be much merry-making besides. So whether you’re tempted, or just need ideas [...]
