It would seem that it is ingrained in most of us to utilise the package services of holiday companies. In reality though, other than performing services that most people could accomplish themselves and selling over priced trips, there is little benefit in paying for the extra expense.

It is by far cheaper to book all the elements yourself and, in doing so, shop around for even more discounts by purchasing different components from a variety of companies (for example, fights from one agent and insurance from a broker). You could find accommodation cheaper too if you utilise some of the sites that offer you to rent from private individuals.
