Seems too good to be true.

yeah thats what I thought so I thought I would be best to speak to a few more people and ask their advice.

On their website they say they can offer flights cheaper as they only charge the cost of the flight and not additional charges and I emailled flybe and they said it is likely they are fine as third parties often by whole flights off them and they can then sell the flights for what ever price they like

Thanks

They used to be OK but they're in insolvency since March or April and AFAIK no change recently. Avoid them!

Surely they should be made to take down their website or at least advertise the fact they are in administration in order to stop people trying to trade with them?! has anyone successfully bought flights from them since March / april? Thanks

You've asked our opinions several times and you've had our replies. I know you will save £100 if you use them but look at it another way - you'll lose more if they take your money and don't provide the flights. You may not find out until you are almost at departure date (or even at the departure gate) and then you'll have to buy at whatever price you can and have the hassle of claiming back for the flights you paid Terminal A for.

I personally have already replied above and told you I've used them in the past but have read they have gone t*ts up. I wouldn't use them now.

Is that clear enough for you?

Would you consider flying from Liverpool?
They do flights to C.D.G. Paris and are usually cheaper than Manchester.
My friend flies in from Paris and I know that she books ahead and gets very cheap flights.

I think this response is a bit harsh... I am only asking for other peoples opinions on the issue raised by others in order to get a rounded view of people's experiences in order to influence my decision and dont feel there is any need for a response like this

Sorry, how I shall I put it? Let's try this -

You opened this topic a fortnight ago. You've had personal experience opinions from 6 different posters. Make up your mind. (The price/availability of flights could well have changed in the meantime anyway.)
