I bought my flight tickets from them in July and it was all electronic but good and cheap.
People know about this company who travels a lot.
check sunshine and avro as well.

There are a couple of threads on here about 'On the Beach'. I've not paid a great deal of attention to them but the general view seems to be that they are not particularly good and have a habit of calling up a few weeks after you have booked the holiday to say that the hotel is no longer available and you will need to pay more money to go to a different one.

If this is not the case perhaps other MSE users will enlighten us.

Mixed reviews, some at each extreme is what I've found, and of course maybe you're more inclined to post a review if you've had a bad experience and are disgruntled with the company , as opposed to not really bothering if you've just had a cheapie and it's all gone to plan.
For example http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews-all-98729.html

This doesn't really help you though!
I'm finding it more and more difficult to make choices with so many people reviewing everything these days. There's such a wide range of views and people have different expectations and requirements, I think trying to take all the various reviews into account can become a case of information overload.
I wish there was a review site called "People Like Me" where you could put in detailed criteria and it would filter reviews for you!!!!

Thanks for your help guys .....Sounds a bit iffy reading some of the reviews other people have written about them ......Seems they put prices up once you have booked it . Think I will give it a miss, can do with out the hassle.

I used freedomdirect.co.uk a few months ago and got a great deal for family holiday to Egypt. They were cheaper than OTB and there were not the same question marks that I had about OTB. Sometimes promo code TZ10 gives you an extra 10% off.

They're a number of threads this Forum - most with bad reviews!
