Hello All

We are pleased to announce the Re-Launch of Holiday.co.uk on Affiliate Window Holidays - From cheap all inclusive package holidays to luxury holiday deals.

Positive improvements have been made to ensure that the programme is now more attractive to affiliates.Changes such as a‘Brand New’ web page, with the implementation of click append to remove the very distinctive phone number. This was previously one of the issues that caused for Holiday.co.uk to withdraw the programme soon after launching the first time round.

Company description

Holiday.co.uk was the first online travel agent site in the UK launched in 1994. Since that date it has been consistently among the top 20 online travel retailers. The site has just been re-launched with a broader range of product, improved search and filtering functionality, and new improved tools to help customers plan and book their holidays.
Holiday.co.uk is a full service on-line travel agent selling flights, hotels, our own flexible packages, and tour operator packages. Holiday.co.uk have relationships with all the major airlines and allow users to create their own package combing low cost, scheduled and charter airlines with over 15,000 handpicked hotels, apartments and villas.

The new holiday search enables comparison of dynamic packages and tour operator packages in the same search, as well as allowing searches across multiple dates and destinations, allowing the user to filter their results on criteria that may be more important than destination such as weather, holiday interests, flight length, board basis, star rating, etc…

New Commission Rates:

• Flight at 1% commission
• Hotel at 7% commission
• Flight+Hotel/Dynamic Package 5% commission
• Tour Operator Package 5% commission

Some fantastic new creatives can be found in the account, let me know if you require a specific size. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions with regards to the programme.

They certainly have a great domain name and looking at their website they also have Flight.co.uk.

I was thinking it would do no harm to put one international link on my website that clicked through and I had to do nothing else. However Affiliate Windows also have Alpha Rooms which I assume is similar, although would be happy to be told if I am wrong, Alpha Rooms have a 365 day cookie but holiday.co.uk have 30 days.

So anyone that is aware of both companies please let me know if there is a difference, I know with Airlines Easyjet is different then British Airways, is this a similar thing, both are ABTA Registered.

I have a fair bit of knowledge over UK Holidays but nothing over the channel so am really looking to do just a link and nothing more at the moment.

Anyone who wants to help but doesn't want to comment on here then please feel free to message me.

Many thanks ...... Gerry

Hi Gerry
NIce to see this back as I was keen to try it before xmas.
On the up side you get commission for flights AND hotels on Holiday.co.uk but if you promote Flight.co.uk you only get commission on flights despite them selling the same hotels and holidays as the Holiday.co.uk site.
I did ask AF about this before xmas and was told there is a click append for Flight.co.uk that should make the site pages only show flights and that it wasn't working. (No change there then!)
So as they stand Holday.co.uk wins over Flight.co.uk

With regard names/brands and clickability then "Flight" and "Holiday" are superb.
Alpha Rooms doesn't reflect in the name that it also does flights (but it is a good program, decent commisions, long cookie and has a good affy manager)
AW also do Lowcosthols and Lowcostbeds which also have brand names with clickability (we all like a low cost holiday!) they both have a 60 day cookie. Lowcosthols and Lowcostbeds used to be different sites but for some reason they are more or less duplicate now. To add confusion Lowcosthols pays 5% and Lowcostbeds pays 7%, however Lowcost beds doesn't pay commissions on flights, I've no idea why as they show the same holidays but maybe someone at AF could explain the reason?

Hope this helps

Cheers
Aly

Hi Aly

Many thanks for taking the time to write such a long answer it was extremely kind of you, thanks.I guess reading through that it would probably make more sense to actually do a few international links.

I can see what you are saying and I hadn't thought about the name with Alpha Rooms and I guess anyone who knows what they do will go direct to their website.
However they have an extremely impressive website and state that they like working alongside other websites, so with the 365 days of cookies could be a nice link if you can get accepted as an affiliate.

Okay many thanks for your help and all the very best ..... Gerry

I still see a large phone number from my links?

Good Morning Brigadoon!

Please find the correct link here: Holidays - From cheap all inclusive package holidays to luxury holiday deals

I have made changes to the banners so they should all direct to this page without the phone number now.

Apologies if this may have caused you any inconvenience Brigadoon. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions.

Kindest regards
