Can you get a better deal making your own hotel and plane plans, or is it always better to go with a "charter group"?
We want to stay at a specific hotel, which is why I am asking. |

Making reservations directly with the hotel is the best.

Also - make your flight plans early while prices are low (you can always get credit if they reduce the fare). Sign your favored hotel's website and internet offers - they will start sending you notices of special rates not found otherwise.
Good luck! Which hotel did you select? Maybe someone on the board can give you specific tips... |

I went with a package deal which ended up much cheaper. Saved about $250.00 per person (stayed @ Flamingo in mid Sept. last year) The only drawback was the seating on the charter plane was pretty tight.
My suggestion would be to check both. |

One problem with booking though a consolidator where the rooms are "pre bought", is that you won't be able to get room comps from the hotel.
Other problems are with pre arranged room locations, (this is how they fill the lower floors) cancellation/change fees, and the fact that you can't keep re-booking if the hotel room rate goes down. |
