Booking Flights with Ebookers

Hi All,
Just a word of warning in case you get caught out like I did this week.
I used Kyak to search for the cheapest flights, Ebookers came up as the cheapest so I booked a total of four return Flybe flights with them.
A work colleague took a look at my Eticket for me as I didn't think it what I was use to. She asked "what about your luggage?" I looked at her blankly and said it wasn't mentioned at all.
I phoned Flybe and I had booked four return flights with no luggage:eek: The gent asked how much luggage was I taking. I said two cases. He told me that would be £63.92:o Shocked at that, I decided on one case.
If I had gone to the airport oblivious of the luggage charge, it would have been £12 per case per journey:mad:
Once bitten, twice shy and I shant book with Ebookers again!!
Please dont make the mistake I did :-)

could you not have got the same deal at the same price or cheaper with https://www.flybe.com direct ?
Im sure they are on Quidco too0 -
Hi Budgetflyer,
Thanks.
According to Kayak at the time - Flybe were more expensive. I cannot remember how much now but I do have a feeling now I have paid for the luggage. Flybe would have been cheaper.
A lesson learnt:-)
Quidco - I have never used but MUST look into it.
