    hi everyone,
    my wife has been pulling her hair out trying to get reviews about holidays and hotels - she's not used to surfing on thinternet - there was just so much info i so many differnet places - just look at the great list of sites in this thread!!!- so i did some work and set up a customised search engine to pull all the review sites into one place for her - she liked it so much that i made a website for her. It just sort of grew from there and i got more and more interested doing the website stuff that its ended up like this - Im an amateur at this but i'm quite pleased with it - www.holidayreviews.info - please have a look and let me know what you think.

    I have just booked with them and go away on 13th June. Very good saving, just hope its all good. I did some checking before I booked, and came across a couple of recomendations on other travel forums.

    Will advise more once been on hols

    Further to above can confirm I got my flight tickets on Friday, as promised when I booked. All seems to be going to plan. Roll on the 13/06/07!

    Can now confirm they are good. Got the tickets ok and the accomadation voucher. Everything went well. Would use them again. Med hotels rep tried to meet up with us in the dominican, so accomadation voucher may have been bought via them, may be cheaper to do it direct. Will check next time. refers to www.Sunmaster.co.uk as the original post as not been shown in the quote

    Has anybody tried a company called "Global late deals"? They seem to have bargains but I read at least one bad review here about them.
    They also use a charter airline I never heard of before and could not even get the name right.... I have heard some foreign airlines are not very rigorous with their maintenance and that is a worry.

    Hi Calisto! Good site! I tried the company I asked about above and found this:

    There were lots of complaints about Thomson too.... I wonder if package companies are a safe bet... never used one before.
  • Great find! I'm off to france soon - found a really useful travel guide too:

    For hotels in Asia www.welltravel.com have great prices. Have booked with them a couple of times and their prices and service have been great. They are expanding to cover the rest of the world and I've also booked a hotel in Rome with them.

    This is a pretty useful place to visit :)

    There is a forum too for all those questions you might have about your next destination!

    If you're looking to take your removals abroad by Ferry, why not try out
    www.myfreight.co.uk. They are very helpful and you may save a few pounds on the cost of your ferry crossing

    Do Not Be Tempted By A1 Travel, I Recently Tried To Book Flights To Greece With Them, And They Did The Usual Trick Of Ringing Me Back Informing Me The Airline Had Put Its Prices Up......by £100!

    A Total Waste Of Time And Very Poor Customer Service, Don't Bother!
