Is it not worth seeing what availability/prices of hotels are ?
Because, if I've understood correctly, you can take the flights and still spend up to the full amount of the package on the hotel and claim it back ?

Plus won't there be a lot of hotel rooms going free now and with some...
I would have thought anyone with a modicum of business savvy may be able to see the potential flaw with selling items that you haven't actually secured. Particularly if the suppliers of the items were aware of this practice :shrug:
Sorry KG, but that whole travel agent/holiday rep thing really doesn't do it for me.
Part of the fun of the holiday is not knowing anything about the place you're going and finding out as you go along. We tend to get a flight, hire a car and then get lost trying to find the villa or apartment...
