Need to book 75 flights... Can anyone recommend a cheap travel agent?

Hi all,

I need to book 75 Economy flights within Europe (not a group booking).
Can anyone recommend a cheap travel agent who can help?
Thanks,

Rakesh.

    If you dont want 75 seats on 1 flight what do you need to book?

    they'll be split in to multiple small groups, on multiple flights, returning at different times (but all over the space of 1.5 weeks)... Hope that's not too confusing! :)

    who is picking up the tab does it have to be cheapest or some flexability.

    what about delays cncellation will this be an issue,
    if opperator has one flight a day or multiple flights.

    I would look at doing thi syourself and see if you can get the airmiles for all the bookings.

    Flexibility isn't too important but I/my company will be paying so price is pretty important.
    I've booked these manually the last few times but it's a pain in the a** so a cheap travel agent would be ideal.
    I used KLM last time, but can still get the airmiles if I book through a travel agent (I think).

    Try HRG (used to be BTI). That's who we use.
    Pretty solid service, and gets you lots of flexible conditions for nonflexible ticket prices, and a host of other perks.

    Unfortunately most of the "mini" groups are less than 9 people, so I cant use the group booking line. Tried already :)

    Thanks! I'll give them a shot. Are they expensive? Do you have their web page?
    Any other suggestion wound be welcome.

    Hogg Robinson = HRG

    As above poster suggests a quick google will bring up contact details. Their prices compare with booking flights yourself online, however their relationship with airlines gets you flexible conditions for cheap discount ticket prices. They also get free name changes and last minute flight adjustments.

    My company is huge and brings them lots of business so perhaps that's why we get a good deal.
