The "Charter Flight Centre" - any good?

tobiascurious

Many of the flight-finding websites ignore charter flights.

Martin's guide recommends "Flights Direct" and "Avro" but they don't seem to give as many results as "Charter Flight Centre", who I can't find any reviews of.

Any positive/negative experiences to report?

They've been around a long time if thats an indication. Should be OK, at the end of the day they are only a middle man booking you on the charter flight with whichever tour operator.

Avro are good, but will only return results for Avro charter flights, not the competition. Other good sites are Flightline, Airflights, and flydeals, they tend to cover a good selection of tour operators. Moneysupermarket also has a fairly comprehensive search.

You could also try going direct to the tour operators who are selling the charter flights:

Thomson (and First Choice, Portland Direct)
Thomas Cook (and MyTravel, Direct Holidays, Airtours)
Monarch (also sell scheduled; but include Avro and Cosmos)
Libra Holidays (fairly small)
Olympic Holidays (for Greece)

There are probably other smaller operators I've forgotten but you get the idea.
