Want to go away and have found the high street travel agents too expensive.

I am wondering if it's cheaper to do it online??

Thanks

try iglu.com they often have the offers from various tour operators.

Try otbeach.com or travelrepublic.co.uk - both are ABTA members and you can book a package, just a flight or just a hotel.

Mercury Direct and Travel House have some good offers, Teletext too.

Sometimes - it's better to book flights and hotels yourself - can be much much cheaper, particularly if you know exactly where you want to go and when!

Where do you want to go????

Don't go with an agent. If you have a computer you can do exactly the same as a travel agent for less money.

As drayford says where do you want to do - let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

Try Trailfinders. They tend to be the same price as most websites. They can book flights and hotels but don't tend to do traditional packages. They used to be long haul only but I think they now deal with Europe as well.

I usually use

Apollo Travel

Get a few quotes first from other places, then ring them and they will undercut the price for you.

Good luck!
