Has anyone booked with FreedomDirect.Co.uk?

Hi, just to ask for some insights if FreedomDirect.Co.Uk is a reliable company to book holidays..I checked some prices and actually better than Flyglobespan but Im wondering if they are reliable.

Or could you let me know of other good deals out there. Got a quote for £1670 for 2 weeks to Fuengirolla, self catering flying from Glasgow for 2 adults and 2 kids in Myramar Hotel which is a 3*..

Could you pls share ur thoughts..thnks.

The difference is, if you book it all through globespan, then its a Package. You have certain rights ie ATOL that you dont have by booking each part seperate.
It is always worth googling the hotel. You then have an idea, which companies are selling this hotel.
Kelkoo and Hotelscomparison.com are another ways of comparing across a broad range of suppliers. Just put the hotel name in the specific hotel box at the bottom of the page.

Freedom direct are a proper company. Their prices are "SOMETIMES" good.
Most companies prices are "SOMETIMES" good. It all depends when ,where and how many are travelling.
Regardless of reputation, all could fail to honour your holiday for any number of reasons.
Thats why its important to have good quality travel insurance. I am always insured via my worldwide annual policy.
I also always pay by Credit Card, even if they charge me extra, as this means my credit card company is also jointly liable for my purchase.
If it all goes t!ts up, and you cant get your money back off the supplier, the CC company are legaly bound to refund you.

Another thing you can do is get all your info.
Take it along to your local INDEPENDANT travel agent.
Ask them to price match it and package it up with an ATOL bonding. That way THEY are liable for your holiday.Still pay with CC though - just in case the shutters dont go up one day
