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 [...]
It is my belief that no one is safe from the sultry charms of a truly great city-centre view. You know the kind – that perilously gorgeous, vertiginous cityscape peppered with tiny toy-town landmarks and resplendent with a horizon line so epic that it makes grown men weep into their binoculars. The one that makes [...]
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 [...]
Before you go: Get a great deal! Just in case the cruise of your dreams isn’t in this week’s Real Deals newsletter here’s our best advice on finding a fantastic price on a cruise: Book early or wait until late Last-minute departures are where you find the biggest savings – especially if you can wait [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Are you friends with us over on Facebook? If not – why not? We’re really nice, promise, and sometimes we put pretty pictures up. Go on. All that aside, if you ARE friends with us, you might have seen a brand-spanking new competition that’s just started today. What can you win? Well, only THIS fabulous [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The jig is up, kids. Like toddlers who have been given free run of the sandpit for too long, we’ve run amok, creating more environmental problems than you can shake a (pesticide covered) stick at. The world definitely needs saving, and this time, we’re going to need more than a man in tights and a [...]
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 [...]
Does this sound familiar? “Are we there yet? Are we nearly there yet?” Well get used to it because some of the theme parks in this list are a little bit further away than you’d normally travel – It’s over 24 hours to Australia’s Gold Coast… The parks are more than worth a visit if [...]
Stressed and wearied wanderer, exhausted nine-to-fiver, I ask you this: what could be better than soaking your creaking, central-line battered bones in a cascade of frothing bubbles before blissing out for an hour underneath the fingertips of an expert masseuse? Well…when you put it like that! Champneys Health Resort are offering a scrumptious sounding overnight [...]
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 [...]
If the only kind of ‘remote’ you ever encounter is the one being passed to you when Downton’s about to start, you might want to consider a trip to one of these secluded hideaways. To get away from it all – and properly, not to a beach with twenty other sunburned couples all erm, getting [...]
It’s confession time. I am a faux-museum enthusiast. You know those people that say ‘count me in!’ for a trip to a museum, only to be caught sleeping with their eyes open? That’s me; minus the sleeping with my eyes open part (I wish I was that talented) and plus a whole lot of whinging. [...]
