General Questions about packages

[thenail]

I am new to Luxury Link and would like to post a couple of questions which I'm sure the frequent users of LL will easily be able to answer. I notice that many of the packages are for two people. What do you do when traveling with children? Is there an add-on for children with a package? Also, if a package is for 5 days, for example, can additional days be added at rates similar to the package price? Thanks for everyone's help

Hello,

The best thing to do would be to contact the property before bidding and ask what their children's policy is. Some hotels have restrictions on age or the type of room a child can stay in (some rooms are too small to accommodate a third person if you are travelling with both a partner and a child, though the ones auctioned on LL tend to be the higher categories). Let them know that you are bidding on an LL package and they will tell you whether there will be an extra charge for the child and how much it is.

You can add additional nights at the hotel's a la carte rate, which is usually not nearly so good as the package rate. What some people here do is buy two packages to the same destination and use them back to back, either at the same hotel or at two different hotels. If you wanted to do this you should check availabiliy for dates which match with your first package before bidding on the second package.

Cheers,
Julian
