Title | Arranging Airport Transfer |
Text | A "standard" (regular; normal) vacation package usually includes just "the basics" (the most common, necessary things), such as "airfare" (the cost of airplane tickets) and "lodging" (the cost of staying in a hotel). Most tours, "admission fees" (the price paid to enter an area), and meals are "extra" (additional) and must be paid for separately. A luxury vacation package includes everything in a standard vacation package, plus much more. For example, it might include airport transfers, local transportation, and "tour guides" (people who lead a small group to different places, sharing information about those places). A luxury vacation package might also include admission fees to various sites. A luxury vacation package could include some or all meals and even alcoholic beverages. Some luxury vacation packages might include "spa treatments" (beauty routines like a massage, manicure, or pedicure) or special arrangements to meet a local "celebrity" (famous person) or "chef" (professional cook). Another difference between standard and luxury vacation packages is the quality of the items included. For example, a standard vacation package usually includes "coach" (the least expensive airfare in the most uncomfortable seats) airfare, "whereas" (while) a luxury vacation package includes "first-class" (the most expensive airfare in the most comfortable seats) airfare. "Likewise" (similarly; in the same way), a standard vacation package includes lodging at a basic hotel while a luxury vacation package includes lodging at a "five-star hotel" (very nice and expensive hotel, with many features). The items included in standard and luxury vacation packages can "vary" (be different) a lot, so it is important to ask for a full list of all inclusions and "exclusions" (things that are not included) before paying for any vacation package. |
