Travel Agent Recommendation

Looking to go away during last 2 weeks of Aug. I've been pricing up packages with main line travel agents (Thomson, Thomas Cook etc) and the prices are around £800 per person. If I use icelolly's search engine I can find similar holidays for around £450. The Travel Companies that tend to come up are Deal of the Day, Travelsoon, Lowcostholidays. I've not heard of these companys before and don’t know if they are reliable or not. I'd rather avoid using the main line Travel Agents to get something cheaper, but can someone recommend a reliable cheaper priced travel agent?

  • Although I have little experience with these companies,we have been looking for the last week or so for a cheap all inclusive holiday, so have come accross them.
    The price you see is not always the price you pay??.
    Always count on adding the cost of your suitcase NOW !!.
    Which varies from airline to airline, approx £45 for a 20kg suitcase.
    And also transfer fees are often not in the price either so check with the company.
    As long as they are ATOL and ABTA you should be fine with them.
    Always phone them and confirm the holiday your looking at is available.
