Anyone with experience of the flight ticket company, airlinetcket.co.uk, based in Wembley? I am rather suspicious as their ticket prices are a lot cheaper than I can find elsewhere - too good to be true comes to mind!

They say they are ATOL protected, but I see no ATOL logo etc on their website. Their website does look a biy amateurish with obvious errors.

Any comments?

PS I have also found "worldwideflights" which appears to be related by the look of their website, Any one heard or used them?

    By what sort of %age are they cheaper?

    Do they have their own terms and conditions as well as the airline's?

    Be very wary, the website appears to be that of Worldwide Flights, but it doesn't indicate whether it is a limited company or not, the website has no ATOL logo, although in the FAQ they claim to have an ATOL, but do not identify a licence number. A check on the ATOL website shows no such company registered and the address is a 'rent by the week' office block......

    By on average 20% cheaper & no T&C as far as I could see. I note that airlineticket.co.uk is one of a dozen trading names for Benz.

    Realistically prices just don't stack up, checking out reviews for the Benz company shows just too many negs (and one always questions the positives as being realistic/honest).

    Thanks for the info
