Ebookers

Advantages: Cheap prices, simple website, good features
Disadvantages: Foreign call centre

...FLIGHT BOOKING I then found Ebookers who were offering the most competitive prices and offering the best cashback at the time. I didn't like to book straight away in case prices went down a bit so after they steadied out I snapped the flights up. I booked 2 seats from London Gatwick to Las Vegas then to Orlando returning into Gatwick for £652.90 per person mid august for 15 days. At the time this seemed a real bargain because you the problem I came ...
...was sold out on the Ebookers website and I found it not to be as competitive as travel republic in this instance so I booked that hotel with them. The hotel in Las Vegas I booked through Ebookers because they were cheapest by far coming in at £133.56. Alpha rooms came in at £161.05 and Travel Republic came in at £173.36 each hotel comes up with photos and a lengthy description on the hotel its features and facilities. A lot of the hotels also have ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Erroneous website, language barriers.

...nice I can say about EBookers - a dear friend once told me you should not say awful things about people unless you can say something nice..... her rule was to say awful things and then say ''but he/she has nice feet''. I cannot even say that. I am wracking my brains to see if there was anything nice.... NO. My review serves to say the attitude of these ''foreign'' personnel when you politely say you cannot understand their language when they ask ...
...stressed me out. This EBookers weekend was one I will never forget. Hopefully someone will find out what went wrong with their website and do something about it. Thank you for reading this... I think it is my first negative review and has been therapeutic to write it.... I guess that is not the reason you should write reviews and if I am rebuked for it i will have to deal with that when it happens. Apologies if I have transgressed. Final insult: ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, secure, good backup, cheap flights!
Disadvantages: accomodation services, booking flights at busy times

ebookers are one of only two "complete online" travel engines that I truly rank. (There are quite a few good research sites, but this one and expedia.co.uk are the best when it comes to the whole process from flight research through to actual payment). I have used e-bookers successfully for a recent trip to New York. It pays to book ahead and I managed to get good flights (i.e. leaving at night and coming back over night) on British Airways for ...
...free way to travel. Normally ebookers charge around £4.10 to send your tickets out to you, but if you choose an E-Ticket, (when available) then you just turn up at the airport with your passport and a confirmation number and you're away. You don't even need the confirmation number. Very easy. I must have used e-tickets over 20 times now and never had a problem. Note that you might need an itinerary to prove to customs (overseas) that you have a return ... Read review

Disadvantages: You can miss out on the good deal just as fast

...Well, I have discovered that ebookers has a page that helps you track down them cheap flight. It is the special's offers page (http://www.ebookers.com/travelagent/specialoffers/specials/) Here they list all the cheapest flights to top destination but also include when the deal is available. e.g. On the page now we have a flight to Boston from London with Iceland air and we can see that you must fly by the 31 March 2001 for £202 but you must book ...
...allowed you to search on a range of dates. I have booked many flights and a hotel with ebookers and the only small problem I have had was they did not give directions to the hotel, I had to go to Waterstones to read the rough guide for that. ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, Speed of conmirmation, Pricing
Disadvantages: Webpage Design could be better

...found a bargain. The Ebookers homepage is very cluttered and could on first glances seems really difficult to find what you want but is not. There are 6 sections flights, cars, hotels, insurance, holidays and cruises to choose from each section gives a different way of find your particular needs. For those of you who have never used Ebookers booking a holiday has never been easy. There is a 7-stage booking progress bar, which shows you where you ...
...has now been booked. Ebookers will send you an email letting you know that your booking is being processed and they will give you a booking number. I booked my holiday on a Thursday evening the next day I had received a confirmation booking letter from Ebookers letting me know that my holiday had been booked I was surprised as usually when I book via the internet it takes a couple of days. Today I have checked Ebookers for the same holiday and ... Read review
