How do I go about booking a flight to Malaga?
The booking process with Alpharooms begins on the home page of their website, and you will see an orange-coloured box in the centre of the screen where you need to begin inputting your requirements.
First of all, you need to select the radio button beside the logo of the aeroplane, the one with the heading ‘Flight only’, and then begin to type in your departure location and destination in the two fields below. As you start to type, the system will provide you with a list of options based on your input and you just need to select the relevant one. As you type ‘Malaga’, for example, you will be offered the option ‘Malaga, Costa del Sol (AGP), Spain’ and just need to click on this to select it. In the departure and return date boxes below, clicking inside the box will present you with a calendar, and once again you just need to click on the required date for it to be automatically inserted into the relevant field. To the right of these two boxes, select the number of adults and children from the drop-down lists and then, if you wish, you have the option to insert your e-mail address to receive details of any special offers. Clicking on the orange ‘Search’ button will take you to the next screen.
The next page displays the search results, which could run to a number of pages. The results will appear in price order, with the lowest price first, but you do have the option at the start of the listing to customise how they appear. When you have chosen your preferred flights, simply click on the orange button which says ‘Confirm price’ and is located directly underneath the listing. On the next page, you will be given the option to add a hotel to your booking, or you can simply click on ‘Continue with flight booking’.
The following page will confirm your flight details and allow you to adjust your baggage requirements. Here, you can also book any flight extras, book an airport transfer and choose whether you wish to include travel insurance with your booking. The total cost of your itinerary will show at the foot of the page, and you just need to click on ‘Confirm this booking’ to continue.
If you have not booked with Alpharooms previously, the next screen will ask you to insert your e-mail address and press ‘Continue’, and further to this you need to fill in your personal and address details and create a password. When you have done this, you simply need to provide your payment details and confirm the booking.
Is the site packed with information?
Yes, it is. One of the great things about the Alpharooms website is that when you reach the search results display page, if there is a cheaper flight during the dates on either side of the ones that you have selected, a little pop-up box will appear to let you know. The search listings themselves also provide all of the information that you need right from the off, so there is no need to go searching to find out which airline you will be travelling with or the flight number and so on.
The ‘Guides’ tab at the top of the main home page of the site provides a really comprehensive list of locations. Click on any of these and you have access to a truly excellent range of information about your destination.
