Planning a holiday with Amadeus.net
While we haven’t actually been abroad in a few years {and none of us curerently have valid passports} that doesn’t stop a girl from dreaming, right?! One place that has always been high on my ‘must visit’ list is New York City. Maybe from watching too many episdoes of Friends, but I’ve always longed to visit the city, see the Statue of Liberty, take a stroll in Central Park, see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree….
There’s no chance of me making it this December, but I had fun pretending that I would be going. I actually love all the planning that goes into a trip, and by using Amadeus.net it got a whole lot more fun! The site is a great alternative to other search engine. I love that you can create a plan for your trip and save all the details to it – flights, links for hotels or places you’d like to visit, all in one spot. You can also invite friends to your plan – great if you’re travelling with others!
Creating a plan is easy, initially you start by filling in five areas – a title for your plan, tags {new york, city, winter}, choose a picture, add a description, and finally adding in email addresses of family or friends who you’d like to share your plan with.
Once your plan is created, you can search for flights – Amadeus.net makes it easy, as you can type ‘fly from manchester to new york on 1st December return 5th December’ and it does all the searching for you. It also has smart filters so you can sort by cheapest, or choose only direct flights.
You can save the searches to your plan, so you can easily come back and look at the flights it found for you, you can also click the little heart symbol underneath flights to add those to your plan too! Lastly you can make your plan public so others can be inspired by your trip! You can see mine here.
Amadeus.net is not a transactional site, you cannot purchase directly through it. However when selecting flights, a tab opens up showing the different prices and their is a button to click on to get to the airlines and travel agents’ websites.
Now the best bit – check out my plan, and then plan your own trip! What do you think of the site – and where is top of your to-visit list?

September 17, 2014 at 09:35My husband Greig has never been to New York – I’m thinking I might surprise him one day for a landmark birthday. This looks like a great tool for planning a trip!

September 17, 2014 at 12:15I would love to go, but I am not sure I want to go for a week or longer and it seems a long way for just a few days x

September 17, 2014 at 14:33I lived there for a year, so feel very excited to see you planning your trip! It’s such a great, great place. Good work on choosing the Rockerfeller tree to see, it’s always stunning. I think you’d like Washington Square park though too, and you’d recognise it a lot from the telly!

September 17, 2014 at 14:50I would love to go to New York, most of my friends have been in the past couple of years. I think we’ll wait till E is really old enough to appreciate how amazing the vegan food out there is. Sigh. x

September 18, 2014 at 00:01Oh I could spend hours on this site just planning and dreaming! My top places to visit would be New England in the Fall, Iceland and New Zealand (with maybe a little pop into Japan on the way past lol!)

September 18, 2014 at 13:48I lived in New York for just under 3 years – you’d love it. Central Park really is as amazing as you think it’ll be. I’d love to plan a trip to Rome so will look into this website.

September 20, 2014 at 13:52You’ve whet my appetite for the big apple. I haven’t watched enough episodes of Friends but I would really like to go. The spiritual side of me wants to go to Japan again, and to Bali.
