How do TO and TA count in a hotel night package?
If I look at Otpusk.com package on SHL, departure from Kyiv at 14:25 to Colombo arrival at 5:25 the next day, then this night is already counted? The question is what can take a chance and try to book an air and a hotel. If by yourself, then there will be hundreds of questions for you)) thanks in advance

Night count of course. You can book the hotel yourself. But you also need to calculate the cost of airfare for these dates and back, as well as a transfer from Colombo airport to the hotel.

I've just taken up the miscalculation and comparison of prices. Before that, I looked at the packages, I wanted with a direct flight, but they are either not on the tour at all or only in one direction. As far as I understand, only UIA from Kyiv has prime flights to Colombo? I didn’t even look at Qatari (maybe there is), but the price is off scale

Yes, only UIA has a direct line. Most fly with a transfer in Dubai.

1. I decided on the air. Only UIA direct flight. I sent them a request to send shares to Colombo.
2. Attention QUESTION!) Hotel booking. So far I have looked at booking and agoda. Which website is best to book? On booking it is more clear, there is a "pay on arrival" function. I didn’t find this on agoda, there is only “payment later”, what does it mean later in a day or two or upon check-in?

kara77, You correctly said that the package is cheaper. In order to save something on such long-distance flights, you need to catch tickets, in advance, it is possible to catch a promotion and have the necessary amount on the card to pay immediately and it will be with a transfer to Sri Lanka, but a direct line is already more expensive and there is no choice, but there is only Mau . Also consider the transfer (it is not close to Sri Lanka, and it will not be cheap. But there is an option to immediately agree on a few day trip and you will be picked up directly from the airport and taken to the desired hotel. In general, there are options.

kara77, it's not cheaper, but more convenient, because I want to fly with my daughter 5 years old (for the scheduled departure in March 2019, it will be almost 6) From this and a direct flight.

2. On Agoda, when choosing your booking options, the phrase "Agoda will process your payment on such and such a date" appears.
Purely subjectively, I like Booking's search more than Agoda's. I also have cashback.

Natasha59, with a child of this age, in my opinion, it’s better either not to fly (very tiring flight, transfer, etc.), and if you fly, then it’s more convenient with MOT. I somehow missed the moment for the child, so the option from the airport for the tour is no longer available. Our son, at the time of the trip, was complete in terms of transfers and trips in general, often flies with them several times a year and then howled, it was hard (then 9 years old), but the youngest (she is now 5.5) I’m only in I take nearby countries, short flights. It's hard to fly 8-9 hours in an airplane... But this is my opinion. If you do go, then do not save on the hotel, carefully read the reviews.

moy_contakt, I am an adequate parent in the sense that I know and understand the capabilities of my child. And in order not to bother with booking myself, especially since there is no experience at all, I was looking for a tour on Otpusk.com (I didn’t find any other understandable generators). Let's miss my parenting abilities) Let's return to point 2
2. Better booking? Although the site is unpredictable, as I read.

What does the booking site mean unpredictable? I have been using this site for over 5 years. Everything is predictable if you carefully read the conditions of booking and the conditions of accommodation at the hotel.
Now on the topic of the question. If the departure from Kyiv at 14:25 to Colombo arrives at 5:25 the next day, then this night is NOT considered, provided that you check into a hotel after 14:00. If you want to settle immediately upon arrival (because it is called early settlement) - then yes, this night will be counted.

Natasha59, in the sense of "cash at the hotel" ?? Cashback is not a discount, read the rules. Booking.com itself returns the money by transferring it to the card. 1% of the amount is withheld for the transfer.

You can still figure out the prices. Samtourism is good of course, but it's too early to talk about the details. How much do you get offhand the price of the package and the price of an independent trip?
In SEA, Agoda is considered the preferred option.

A direct UIA flight is convenient in that they offer free water all the way and serve hot meals twice.
Air Arabia transplant in Sharjah can stretch for an hour and a half, the child can play on the carpet in the play area, but they don’t feed or give water, if you want, you can buy everything.
If you don’t have early check-in and no late check-out on your tour, then you don’t pay for them (you will be checked in at about 14.00 and checked out before 12.00) we had experience with an early check-in tour, we could hardly prove this fact, and we were settled at 10 in the morning after a 2-hour scandal, stubbornly did not understand any language and an entry in the voucher

If you book one day earlier then your room will be ready in the morning. And if you book a hotel from the day of arrival, then you will receive a room only after 2 days. Since you will be at the airport early, it is better to book a hotel earlier.If you can contact me via viber or whatsup, I can tell you detailed information. +94778608900

Oleksii64, while there are no shares from TO and shares on air, then the price is the same + -50 USD. depending on the chosen hotel. BUT, a big BUT, I choose a direct flight without a transfer. But it’s also a big minus, it’s scary for me as a package vacationer to decide on such an adventure as a samtourist.

nadin65, Direct UIAs are more suitable for me, because night flight. Air Arabia departs from Kyiv at 14:00, and in Sharjah at about 19:00 + how many connections there are, but arrival in Colombo at 5:00. This is what I looked at Vacation.com. I don’t think that flights will differ in time, Otpusk.com generates an offer from many TOs

I wouldn't count this night either. BUT if you watch Otpusk.com, then they consider it. Why the question arose, I enter the parameters of 10 nights and the date of departure. Night in the sky is considered, not in a hotel.

I don’t understand, but it’s just impossible to agree with a travel agency when buying a tour that they will not include those nights that you cannot physically spend the night there due to flight time?
What I do not like agencies, but they usually do such simple things without problems.

The TO does not include nights if you are not there. Moreover, in the vouchers for the settlement it will be clearly stated from which to which the settlement at the hotel goes. There were also precedents when people flew in very early in the morning (at 4-5 in the morning they were already at the hotel), and the settlement was only from 14, because this night was naturally not laid and someone was fine (they put things in the storage room, redo it and went for a walk ), and someone is tired, makes a scandal, maybe he wants to get into the room early. You can see all this when booking a tour and make your own adjustments or pay for early check-in on the spot (this is exactly what we do, as there are delays, flight transfers, a long transfer and all calculations down the drain.
