Creating a twin centre holiday

Creating the perfect twin centre holiday requires the combination of a number of factors, and with our experience we can put together the ideal itinerary.

The first thing to consider is time, and how much of it you have. In many destinations, if you try to do things too quickly your memories will only be a blur, but if you spend too long in certain cities, things may get a bit much. Also bear in mind your total duration, of course. In busy cities such as Bangkok, three or four nights would be ideal to get to grips with it and to take in the main highlights – if you tried to do it all in a day you probably won’t remember much, but stay too long and the traffic will get to you! In Singapore, however, where things are more organised, a shorter trip will allow you to take things in without getting too hot & bothered.

Next thing is location. If you’re only looking at a short stopover before hitting the beach, then the location of your hotel is an important factor when it comes to making the most of your time. In Dubai, for example, stay in Deira or on Sheikh Zayed Road if you’re only in town for a few nights, as most of the city’s attractions can be reached easily from here. Beach hotels may have a more glamorous outlook, but if you spend most of your time travelling to the sights, then you’re not making the most of your time. In Hong Kong, a short stopover in an Island hotel may leave you spending more than you would had you been in Kowloon – many of the Island’s bars and restaurants charge a premium for their central location, in the heart of the business district, where expense accounts normally pick up the tab.

Cost, obviously, is also an important factor. Turing a beach holiday in to a twin centre itinerary is easy if you’re already flying via your second location, but often, adding in a new location involves more flights with different airlines, and costs can start to increase considerably. If you’re flexible, ask us for the best deals. A great example of this is Bali, where flight options change quickly.

The combination of Hong Kong and Bali is cost-effective when the cheapest flight seats are available, but as soon as we’ve sold out of these, prices increase quickly. However, travelling via Bangkok tends to be great value year-round, especially with cost-effective hotels in Bangkok starting at around £ 18 per person per night. There are also great deals with Singapore Airlines from time to time, making Singapore the best value twin centre combination, but at the moment, Malaysia Airlines are the most cost-effective, so if you’re flexible, a Kuala Lumpur plus Bali twin centre works best. It’s all down to the best deal for when you’re travelling, as to which is the best value combination.

The best way to your perfect twin centre holiday is to ask someone who’s been – and that’s us!

Our Top Trips in 2018 - Mark in Australia

We're continuing our look back at our teams travels this week - Mark visited Australia on an epic three-state trip, starting in Sydney, moving to Victoria and driving most of the Queensland Coast in a campervan - here's a quick look at the highlights of his Aussie adventure. . . . Starting in Sydney ​ The first time I visited Australia was 27 years ago as an 18-year old backpacker, but I'm always excited to go back - it's one of the most diverse, incredible countries on the planet. As with many visits Down Under I started in Sydney , which is a very easy city to get to grips with - for me, if you stay anywhere between Central Station and Circular Quay you can't go too far wrong, and it's such as easy place to explore. I stayed right in the middle of Sydney at the Grace Hotel , which has pretty much everything you want to see within a 20 minute walk - I took in the Sydney Tower Eye, Darling Harbour and the amazing Sydney Opera House, all on foot.
