I've been thinking about this recently.

Do people deliberately book package holidays with the cheapest sounding, most fly-by-night looking, dodgiest c**ts they can find, just to save £50 on their holidays?

I've never heard of you, mate, but here's three thousand of my pounds for a holiday. Don't go bust now! Oh! You did! Fuck me I never entertained the possibility of that!

"Kiss Flights"?! My hairy ringer.
"Goldtrail"? Nope. Sound like they advertise holidays with tiny ads in the back pages of tabloids (ie the "Don't Book With This Company" method).
"Sun4U"! FUCK ME! "Yes I'll book with 'Sun4U', they're bound to be solid as a FUCKING ROCK."

I don't mean to sound cruel, and I've every sympathy for the people that are missing out on holidays and whatnot, but bloody hell.
