Flight Agencies
« on: February 14, 2009, 01:10:12 PM »
I was wondering if any of you have tips for flight agencies to get best prices?

I''ve found airflights.co.uk and A1travel.com best so far, although don''t go for the internet option with airflights, you get a better price by phoning.

Just booked some flights for son & daughter to join us out there in April, so wanted to get them on same flight that we had previously booked.

For the same flight for 2 people, on Onur, quotes were:

Aegeanflights.com - £558
H4U - £520
Airflights (on internet) - £560
Airflights (on phone) -  £496
A1Flights - £456

You would have thought that booking direct through Aegean would get best price, but obviously not! Also, substantial difference between tinternet and phone frome same company. Thats several nights worth of Efes!

I would just try googling "flights from Bristol to Dalaman" and checking out those options.

Hi Joan,

Yes I always do  - but pretty much the same companies come up that are reasonable or big bucks. Just wondered whether anyone had a hidden gem somewhere!

Have you tried www.skyscanner.net ?
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Yes, I do use, I don''t know how you have got on, but only sometimes useful.

E.g just done the search for flight I wanted & no flights listed on that day from Bristol to Dalaman at all.

Yet, I know there are Onur seats available. Seems to mainly list Thomson, Thomas Cook & Easyjet, although does list the Onur flights from Gatwick.

Ah well, looks like no hidden gems after all - wishful thinking I guess to get flight prices like they used to be!

This is interesting, I was searching the other day for some friends (4 adults, 1 child) for a week from 4th April from Bristol and the best I could come up with was £350 per person with TCook. I tried all the usual Skyscanner, Flightline etc. Couldn''t find them a bargain at all. :(

Interesting that a cheaper price was obtained by phoning than on the web.
Anybody else found this?
