Well my experience of a package holiday has been very different to that, even though the coach journey to your hotel may take longer than if you made your own way there i think that its a much more relaxing way and peace of mind that when you arrive at your destination you havn’t got to be running around looking for the car hire stations or searching for a taxi or hanging about waiting for a packed bus to take you to your hotel. I also find the rep’s to be helpful and more than telling you what to do they explain some of the things that you can do while you their yes sometimes on their behalfes but moslty for inspiration and to help you get the most out of your holiday. They are also on hand at many of the bigger hotels i have stayed in almost all day and when they are not you can contact them over the telephone or they have a couple of set times displayed on a board the next time they will be there.
As for the pre-bookable inflight meals this is now standard with most charter airlines and has been for about 5 years or so. As many people prefer to eat in the airports prior to their flights and the majority of holiday flights from the UK not being much over 3 hours the need for inflights meals is really non-existant. This helps keep the airlines costs down in trying to keep themselves competetive against the low fare carriers hence all the other changes that can be seen today such as the mergers and other cuts… Things are changing weather or not we like the airlines are out there to make money and not waste it. I must say though that the inflight meals i have had at least on Thomsonfly in the past 2 – 3 years have been much improved since the times when they came as standard.
