Is TravelRepublic Genuine?

MrsPitcher2b

Hi Guys and Girls

Looking to book a holiday and found its a hell of a lot cheaper on https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk - but a bit worried about being robbed!! It does include ATOL protection (apparently) but it doesnt name the airline just says charter flights?

Looking to go florida jus wondered if it was ok to book through them?

"Online retailer Travel Republic has been summonsed on 20 counts and Pirie on another 20, all relating to breaches of the Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing) Regulations 1995."

Then:

"Travel Republic and its managing director Kane Pirie have been cleared of all charges relating to breaching ATOL regulations in a court victory that could see more travel companies operating without an ATOL licence."

Make your own mind up.

Yes they are genuine, however you are NOT protected as a Package holiday from a tour opp such as Thomsons, Virgin holidays, Cosmos etc

You are buying seperate hotel + flight options, linked together for your convienience

This means if the airline you are booked on goes bust, dont worry, your hotel + car hire are totally unaffected. These bookings still still stand even though you no longer have a flight to get there;)


When you click on the flight details it often shows a code ie (EZY) which is the flight code for Easyjet.
You can get a list of codes here

You can get flights and hotels from the Major tour operators seperatley therfore the holiday is completely safe

As long as the airline is ATOL protected which in most cases to Florida are, with charter aircraft you will be fine, and the agent is ABTA bonded.

I have also booked accomodation only with them over the years, without problem. They usually come out tops, alongside Alpharooms, for price.
