    I have just found this place https://www.ticketsaver.net and the prices seem almost too good to be true! Has anyone else used this site? Its prices are in US $ but they say that they ship internationally too. Can anyone advise me on its use?

    I wonder if we could make this thread 'sticky' so that it warns people of these scams? Moderator please consider!

    In google type in "airline networks", this is a real company with a real address & people in Preston Lancs. Their on line site is easy to use. Also try Thomas Cook. Additionally if you are uncertain about about paying with your credit card over the net don't be afraid to use your local independent travel agent. They have access to all the good deals as well and they make their money from the airline and not you.

    yours

    Use www.traveljungle.co.uk to search multiple legitimate sites at once.

    try https://www.rexair.co.uk. They have a website but do not have facilities to book online. But can booked by phone. As long as you do not want to go during peak period, they have very good prices for travel to Far East and Australia.

    We got cheaper prices booking direct with the airline, in our case Singapore Airlines.
