Hi all, I am looking for a long weekend somewhere warm in mid Oct, I stumbled upon teletext but the prices look far too good to be true!!

So just wondered if could get some feedback on this???

Thanks

You don't book with Teletext. It is just an platform for companies to advertise on. You need to list the actual companies you are considering.

Do note that most of the prices listed by those companies don't include hold baggage.

You will probably find that prices quoted are unobtainable,they quote these prices to grab your attention. Have tried the firms who advertise there but once they add on neccesary extra's such as room supplements,transfers etc the price soon rises.

As said earlier, the teletext website is basically just all adverts.

There is a physical teletext shop near me and this is where i booked my holiday.... the prices were dramatically different!

We thought we had made a realistic budget based on the prices we'd seen online.... but it turned out that realistically there wasnt much within our price range so had to up our budget!

I had a good experience approx 5 years ago. Holiday to somewhere in Majorca advertised as £110 per person, self catering for 5 days all advertised on teletext online. We booked, hugely dubious but paid the £110 pp. After a REALLY bad start, delayed, coach driver getting lost, people being dropped off in the middle of nowhere....we ended up in a lovely little village at I guess what they call a hotel. It was a big restaurant with swimming pool and all around it were little villas. We had a two bedroom villa, kitchen, living room/dining room, our own swimming pool, a BBQ, garden furniture. It was a traditional spanish house with beautiful terracotta paving and vines covering the outside of the house with a huge towering front door. 10 minute walk to the beach. Downside it was the middle of nowhere but reps were able to organise transport and trips...had a great time. We used teletext on the recommendation of a friend who got a week long stay in Spain for £80 all inc. But perhaps it was a bit of a fluke!!

A few years ago I saw a cheap holiday to Turkey on teletext, so I went to Thomson & ask them to beat it & they did.
