When planning a holiday, it can be tempting to buy a travel package from your nearest agent.

The ‘do-it-yourself’ travel option can seem daunting, but with ePlanner’s new suite of online holiday booking and planning tools, it’s now easier than ever.

While travel packages might seem like a quick and convenient option, it often results in a lot of compromise and a premium price.

ePlanner allows you to quickly and easily assemble your own ‘travel package’ – without the arduous task of trawling through brochures or stressing about giving yourself enough time to enjoy each activity while on holiday.

You can book flights, accommodation, activities, restaurants and transport right throughout Australia through EPlanner, with just a few clicks.

You can build your personalised travel package and view or amend your options in ePlanner’s unique online travel itinerary – which enables you to make sure everything is kept within budget, there are no overlapping commitments and that it is clear how to get from each location to the next.

As well as offering maps and directions to each item you add to your customised self planned travel package, ePlanner also makes life easy by enabling you to search for options within a set distance of an existing item that you have added to your ePlan.

The easiest way to get started is to either add a manual entry to your ePlan or to perform a search and click the “Add to ePlan” button on an option that you like.
