You might think that that trip to Ibiza is an absolute bargain because you only paid £50 for your return flights, but you’ll have a nasty surprise once you get to the Balaeric paradise to realise that average entry to a nightclub is around the £60 mark and the restaurants are similarly purse-obliterating! With this [...]
Spring is on the way, and that means baby animals being born all over the UK – whether you’ll have lambs, calves or ducklings near you, it’s unmissable! But at the zoos across the world, there have already been some exciting new arrivals, so why not hop on a plane and see some of the cutest [...]
First off don’t baulk when I tell you the price of this week’s pick of the Real Deals. You ready? £1,399 per person. But then consider what you get for your money; a long 10-night Hawaiian holiday, with flights, staying in a renowned five-star resort. It had me at Hawaii.
Panic! It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow and time is ticking to sort out a nice surprise! Why not take your loved one away for a night (or two) in a beautiful hotel? Thoughtful AND you can book online now – extra brownie points! You two can get away from it all, enjoy some sumptuous surroundings and [...]
For me, the hardest part of picking dealchecker’s hotel of the month is that I love pretty much all hotels. You see, I’ve just never got over the excitement of someone else making my bed every day, folding the toilet paper into that neat triangle and replenishing my tea and coffee. So what nabbed the [...]
Food and travel are as intertwined as James and his Giant Peach. Whether you’re chowing down on scrumptious sushi in Japan or gobbling goulash in Budapest (were you Hungary? Sorry) sampling the culinary offerings of the country you’re visiting as as important – in my opinion – to your cultural experience as visiting twelve cathedrals. [...]
Because your friendly dealcheckers like to help out keeping costs down, and because we know that planning activities for the whole family over half term soon adds up – we’ve checked out a couple of ways of multiplying the activity levels for a fraction of the cost.
We dealcheckers have a heartening message to impart: Winter will not last forever. That’s right; soon spring will have sprung, and how better to celebrate sensation returning to our fingers than a two-night Prague escape?! One of our clever deal hunters stumbled across this bargain from lowcostholidays.com, and by golly, we think it’s a good’un! Stay [...]
For those who lust after star-studded holidays we’ve looked up some of the best celebrity owned hotels around the world. Just a quick disclaimer; don’t go expecting Robert DeNiro himself to be dishing up your breakfast.

January 10, 2012 Comments OffEvery year, the National Geographic Traveler magazine compiles its pick of the top 20 travel destinations for the coming year.
Brunch to a New Yorker is like black clothes and strong coffee to a Parisian; a way of life, and not one they’ll be giving up anytime soon. From piles of light-as-a-feather pancakes dripping with silky cream and blueberries to salty, gooey eggs on hot buttered toast, the art of rising late and dining slow [...]
The start of a new year always has us planning and scheming for new trips and new places to visit. We took a quick poll of the office to see which new locations are on the agenda for the dealcheckers in 2012. Italy – We’re just about going to let Andy get away with his [...]
For the bargain hunters among us January is the promised month. The high street is awash with neon SALE signs, you can’t move for half price offers and travel land is no exception: There are so many sales on this week that choosing a pick of the Real Deals is even harder than usual. So [...]
Most of us are pretty familiar with the usual roast turkey/ham/beef Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and some good old Christmas pud to finish with… but what about the rest of the world?

Aside from being famed for its amazing dive spots, Sharm El Sheikh is a paradise for shoppers, with the traditional bazaars being the heart of the action. New shopping centres are springing up everywhere too, like the growing number in the Naama Bay area, but for a real taste of the markets you have to [...]
Yikes! It’s time for me to pick a favourite deal from the newsletter again – and it’s like my very own Sophie’s choice every single week (well… maybe). But this week my pick has to be the all inclusive holiday to Lanzarote we found on offer at low-cost holidays. For starters it fits the season [...]
There’s a nip in the air and a scent of cinnamon blows in the breeze, and even the most hardened Christmas grinches feel their heart melt a little. The first smell of Christmas! Shame it was only someone’s snowflake cup-clad coffee. But it doesn’t have to be that way – all across Europe giant Christmas [...]
We rounded up our Ibiza Treats for Travel Tips competition this week, and we have to say a huge thanks to all those who sent us their recommendations.
