So previously I would a-la-carte all my bigger vacations as I kinda enjoyed the project (worked as a vacation travel agent for a couple years way back in the day) so that was kinda what I stuck with over the years even after I moved out of industry. Well come to find out I overpaid all the times I built it all myself, then had to deal with the headache of keeping track of multiple confirmations and if anything went wrong you were screwed because none of is was tied together.
Last 4 beach vacations I booked with my airline of choice vacation package company and compared to booking a-la-carte and the savings were anywhere from $200-$600 per booking for beach destinations (3x Mexico and 1x Bahamas). These are not just beach vacations as two colleagues reported similar savings for a single destination Paris trip and a Las Vegas trip. All my situations I compared Delta Vacations versus Costco but ultimately ended up with Delta Vacations being the best overall value - Costco had some slightly cheaper options but they were Frontier or Spirit flights connecting in Florida versus nonstop.
Long story short shop your preferred airline vacation company - its very much seamless in my experience and just one itinerary to keep track of versus multiple. I have not tried it for a multi-stop vacation yet so cannot comment there but imagine you could book something like if you book with an actual person versus booking online.
