How do you... book yours?!
I like to book hotel and flight directly and separately; although I'll check a few last-minutey type places and airmiles, I invariably find that the cheapest / most convenient bookings come direct. I like being in control in that way too. Then again, I also prefer cheap 'n' interesting to the sort of places that you can easily book through agents and websites - if I was going delux I might find that they offer better deals..
