Is it cheaper to book a Phu Quoc package holiday or arrange flights and accommodation independently?
Based on 2 discussions with 4 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Booking independently can be cheaper when a charter package marks up the hotel: one 12-night package was quoted at 400, with the selected hotel priced about 100 higher than expected. However, cheaper self-booked flights may involve three to four connections each way.
What the community said
For a longer stay, travelers chose to book flights first for a 17-night trip and reserve accommodation separately. This can avoid paying for a pre-made package.

For two people, independently booked flights plus a mid-range hotel may cost about the same as a package, but the flights can involve three to four connections in each direction. Check connection times before booking.

An Ikar charter was considered a convenient option for Phu Quoc, but a 12-night package was quoted at 400, with the chosen hotel marked up by roughly 100. In that case, booking separately may be better value.
