Welcome to

Direct Join

…Our NEW range of NO INTERCHANGE Short Breaks Family owned Alfa Travel has provided coach holidays for more than a million satisfied guests over the last twenty years.

Over that time we have listened to the comments and suggestions made by our valued guests in order that we can update and improve our service.

Here’s what our guests told us…

In our guest surveys and correspondence we were told that whilst our clients appreciate the huge choice we provide through our feeder system, for shorter holidays they would like a more direct service to their chosen resort staying on the same coach for the entire journey.

Many guests felt that for closer to home destinations and shorter duration breaks they’d like to avoid the interchange service .

Here’s what we did…

We listened to the feedback and have introduced a range of two, three, four and five day short breaks which do just what was asked! These short breaks offer all the usual benefits of an Alfa holiday with the added bonus of quicker journey times giving a longer time to enjoy a break once in the resort.

Quite simply, direct join tours mean that after each guest has embarked at their chosen pick up location, you head directly to your destination without changing coaches at an Interchange point.

2

There’s NO CHANGE at an interchange – but there’s also NO CHANGE to our usual high standards.

What’s included on an Alfa Direct Join Short Break?

Accommodation that’s just right…

Direct Join Breaks use the same outstanding fleet of modern, luxury coaches as you’d expect on a longer stay Alfa holiday. Spacious, comfortable and air conditioned, our coaches boast the latest safety features and have reclining seats with fitted seatbelts. Double glazed windows and panoramic views set the scene for an enjoyable journey.

You can expect a warm welcome, excellent standards of cleanliness and a personal service that will make your short break just right. All Leisureplex hotel rooms have private bath or shower & WC, central heating, hair dryers, tea/coffee making facilities and TV/radio.

We like to think we have the most experienced, informative and reliable drivers in the business.

Well, if our letters of thanks and appreciation are anything to go by, that’s certainly the case!

Your driver will stay with you throughout the duration of your break –running your excursion programmes & making your stay a memorable one.

“Our driver, Brian just couldn’t do enough – he kept us going with his witty and informative banter on the excursions…”

Still the same quality hotel & dining experience…

Quality hotel accommodation with friendly efficient service is why so many guests return to Alfa year after year. Most of the Direct Join Short Breaks featured here include stays in one of our own Leisureplex Hotels. Each of our hotels has a unique character and all are in outstanding locations.

Some of the breaks featured here use other high quality hotels but our Leisureplex Hotels set the standard by which our guests judge the rest.

Entertainment is on offer four or five nights per week in Leisureplex hotels – following what is always the highlight of each evening – a sumptuous four course dinner! Fine menu choices and professional, efficient service are a key feature of all our breaks.

“My husband is known for his healthy appetite – and even he couldn’t believe the delicious menu choices & ample portions…”

Still the best value for money breaks…

Short breaks at Alfa start from just £45 for a one night stay in Llandudno or Scarborough including return coach travel, full British Breakfast and four course evening meal!

You’ll be hard pressed to find better value elsewhere. But remember, places on these great value short breaks are strictly limited so book quickly to avoid disappointment.

“I thought we’d give Alfa a try as I’d heard it was very reasonable… we’ve booked again for three breaks this year…”

Choosing Your Direct Join Break Have a look at the lists of holidays shown on pages 3, 4 and 6. They are listed in groups based on the joining points available. Please read through all the lists to find the holidays which are available from your local town because some towns are on more than one route, depending on the direction of travel to the resort. If you live in a town which does not have a joining point for a particular departure, consider whether you could join at a nearby town. For example, Oldham is not on the route to Scarborough, but many people living in Oldham will find it relatively easy to join at Rochdale instead.
