Inghams

Advantages: Reasonable price, good accomodation, great holiday rep
Disadvantages: Quiet resort (could be a pro!), little nightlife

...a last minute holiday through Inghams online for my parents and sisters to visit Austria for a week. The online booking system was flawless and the tickets arrived promptly. I booked them all (poor little me was left to house sit!) a week on the Inghams “Taste of Austria” holiday which travels to a number of Austrian resorts, with some of the holidays giving the resort name but in other cases is allocated on arrival. The holidays also travel from ...
...it was tourists travelling with Inghams that were involved. This led my mother into a mad panic, my dad just lay in bed claiming it was “an omen” and my sisters were relatively indifferent (probably as they weren’t really awake). I have to admit to being a bit concerned as I had visions of them being stranded at the airport as Inghams were now a coach and driver down and as I’d booked the holiday I’d be the one to blame if it turned out to be a disaster. ...

...We have travelled with Inghams for the last 6 years to various locations. 1 Chamonix in France – 2 times 2 Seefeld in Austria – 3 times 3 Lake Garda in Italy – once. Each of these times we have had an excellent experience in terms of the friendly customer service at the booking of the holiday, right through to the resort representative Booking the Holiday There are a number of ways of booking the holiday 1 - Through a Travel Agent 2 – Through ...
...to book you holiday with Inghams is to PRE-BOOK it. Let me explain, as already mentioned we have travelled with Inghams in the past so we know some of the resorts. Armed with this information we ask for a pre-booking from for the following year. This, as the advert suggest “does exactly as it says”. The benefit for me is that I have saves 70 euros per person, again a great savaging as there is 5 of us - a grand total of 350 euros saved. When booking ... Read review

Advantages: good reps
Disadvantages: slow with information

...booked a skiing holiday with Inghams to Andoora and found the whole process to be very good. When we booked through a travel agent the people taking the booking were very helpful and advised on various aspects of the holiday. As it was a skiing holiday we were not at first sure what ski packages to take out but they advised th at we could do this later for a small admin fee of £4 (was it worth it?). We got the tickets in good time although these ...
...package holiday and if our experience is anything to go by I would recommend booking a skiing holiday with Inghams as they made sure you were getting on OK and that everything was OK without being in your face all the time or constantly after money to go on excursions. ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of fun things to do (santa park, reindeer ride, husky ride, snow mobile)
Disadvantages: Inghams could have organised better for snowsuit + boot pick-up & return

...Brief summary: We have booked a Santa short break in Lapland this December (16th-19th, 4 days 3 nights) with Inghams based on the recommendation of a friend. The location is the Yllas skiing resort in a log cabin (half-board) via Kittila airport from Gatwick. The price is around £1700 for 2 adults and 1 child. Excursions (day 2 reindeer safari; day 3 reindeer safari and/or snowmobile safari) cost extra £300-350. Snow suits and boots are provided but not gloves/hat. Important note: If you are English tea drinkers, bring your own favourite tea bags. Arrival and check-in: On the day we flew it was sub-zero (early morning) in the UK and when we arrived there (Kittila airport) the temperature was just a bit lower (-3 degree C) but with lots and lots of snow + ice. On the coach we were given our welcome pack... Read review

Advantages: Memories to treasure
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, but well worth it

...day experience, but the more we looked the more we realised that a 7 day trip actually cost very little more and it meant we could relax and not have to rush. We found an online travel agency, which eventually turned out to be Inghams, and booked. We decided not to go the actual Christmas week as it was far more expensive and we couldn't take presents all that distance anyway, so we booked for the week before. Then we had to keep the whole thing quiet until after the op and for several weeks after. We only told her just as we were about to leave the house to drive to the airport, she was so overjoyed she had tears in her eyes, and spent the entire journey there asking 'are we really going to Lapland?' ******************************************** Flights We flew from Birmingham on an afternoon flight with FinnAir. The flight took... Read review

...For some time now I have wanted to take my children to visit Santa in Lapland. I finally decided to book after I read an excellent review on this site. I choose to go to the small Finnish village of Akaslompolo as it seemed the quietest resort in northern Lapland, yet still promised plenty to keep us all happy. The resort is known as Yllas, taking its name from the nearby skiing fell. We travelled with the ski tour operator Inghams and stayed in the Akas hotel or Akas hotelli to give it its Finnish name. I hope my review of the hotel will be helpful to anyone thinking of booking the hotel, either independently of via a tour operator. How to get there. **************** The Akas hotel is very well situated right in the middle of the village of Akaslompolo and only 2 km from the ski slopes. As we booked the hotel as part of a package... Read review
