Planning a trip can be exciting and the costs can quickly add up.  There are so many things to think about, from booking your flights and accommodation to arranging your airport parking and travel insurance.  That's where Holiday Extras comes in, offering a convenient one-stop shop for travel add-ons like airport parking, hotels, lounges, and insurance. 

1. Time it right when booking: Booking last minute doesn’t guarantee a bargain. Research by Skyscanner found that you generally get the best prices around six months in advance. The day of the week that you book and fly matter too. Expedia claim that the cheapest day to book a holiday is a Sunday.  We did this year and our holiday increased by over £200 the following day 

Travel and culture are two of the most fascinating and enriching aspects of life. They allow us to experience the world in different ways, learn new things, and connect with other people. In this blog post, I will share with you some of the reasons why we love travel and culture, and how they have shaped me as a person.

For many, the thought of getting from the sprawling city of Los Angeles to the dazzling neon lights of Las Vegas immediately brings to mind a quick, budget flight.  While flying might seem like the most efficient option, trust us, a road trip between these two iconic American destinations offers an unparalleled experience, especially for those venturing from the UK.  Ditch the cramped cabins and embrace the open road – here's why driving is the clear winner, along with essential tips for our British friends.

Dreaming of an unforgettable American road trip?  Look no further!  Our recent adventure, spanning the vibrant streets of Los Angeles, the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, and the breathtaking landscapes of Arizona, was truly epic. F rom iconic Hollywood sights to the majestic Grand Canyon, we packed it all in.

If you’re searching for a family-friendly restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip that delivers on flavour, fun, and flair—Sugar Factory Las Vegas might catch your eye with its vibrant branding and over-the-top desserts. But our recent visit during a St. Patrick’s Day influencer event left us with more disappointment than delight

During our recent trip to Las Vegas we were invited to step away from the Strip and delve into a different kind of culinary experience: Wild Fig BBQ in Summerlin.  We eagerly accepted the invitation to sample their renowned BBQ combo platters.  Little did we know, this unassuming spot would deliver a smoky, flavorful punch that far exceeded our expectations.

Universal Studios Hollywood has truly out done itself with Super Nintendo World, creating a vibrant, interactive land that pulls you directly into Mario's world.  After all that racing, collecting coins and battling Bowser, it's time for a refuel!  Toadstool Cafe is a signature quick-service restaurant, where Chef Toad himself (virtually!) oversees the culinary delights. Curious about the food?  Read on for an honest review of our visit.

The Sea Sprite Beach Club is a charming beachfront property located in the heart of Hermosa Beach, a vibrant beach town between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach in Los Angeles' South Bay, California.  We were recently invited to stay in their Premier Partial Ocean View Balcony Suite for three nights, and we were thoroughly impressed with our experience.

We recently embarked on an action-packed 3-night trip to LA, blending iconic landmarks, thrilling theme park adventures, and classic California vibes.  If you're looking for inspiration for a whirlwind West Coast getaway, here's exactly how we squeezed every drop of fun out of our LA experience!

Our final day of this incredible US road trip had arrived!  After a chaotic Day 12, which unexpectedly changed our plans and landed us in Peach Springs due to a snowstorm, Day 13 was dedicated to finally ticking this natural wonder off our bucket list.  The night before, determined not to leave Las Vegas without showing the boys, we'd booked our tickets for the Grand Canyon West Rim, including entrance and the famous Skywalk. 

Day twelve of our epic US road trip, we said goodbye to the dazzling lights and excitement of Las Vegas, checking out of the Rio Hotel with hearts full of memories.  Today was extra special – our wedding anniversary!  Our plan was to make our way to Arizona and spend our final night in a lodge nestled within the Grand Canyon National Park at the South Rim.  Little did we know, Mother Nature had a different kind of adventure in store for us!

Our final full day in Las Vegas was another whirlwind of fun and adventure! After a leisurely morning at the hotel, recharging our batteries for the day ahead, we had one crucial item to tick off Charlie's ever-growing list of American fast-food experiences: Raising Cane's.
