...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 ...

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.

Advantages: good range, good hotel Disadvantages: -
When booking my most recent holiday, I made sure I literally checked every website possible to find the best deal on accommodation. I like to book my holidays online as I have done it frequently and never have I had any issues. I always check review websites such as tripadvisor.com just to get general feedback as well as Expedia to see what others have said before booking a hotel. I normally check well trusted websites with a good reputation which ... ...on ebookers.com at an amazing price for what was included I just couldn’t say no and after discussing with those I was travelling with I booked straight away and on with the holiday it went.
So, the overall website colour is a turquoise and white theme. It is very easy to navigate around with you just needing to enter typical details in such as destination, travel dates, duration of stay, rough star rating required and if it is flight and hotel ...

Advantages: The flights were cheap... Disadvantages: They took my money 3 times. It took forever to get hold of anyone and cancel the flights!
...last time in 2006. ebookers have over 20 years industry experience under various different names. Over the last 20 years they have been known as or merged with or been bought with companies such as Cendant, Flightbookers and Orbitz. All travel companies. It is defined as an online travel company, headquarted in the UK and wholly owned subsidiary of Travelport. Therefore they should be a lot lot better than the reviews here indicate. I first came ... ...London to Melbourne, Australia. ebookers.com were offering a very competitive Qantas fare, and at the time you could also collect Nectar points. I booked my flights online and went to pay and that's when it all started to got horribly horribly wrong. The payment didn't go through the first time so we tried again. It was saying the credit card was declined which was unusual as there was more than adequate funds on the card. We rang the bank to check ...

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 ...

Advantages: Find what you want easily and fast 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. ...

...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 ...

Advantages: Good choice of services, good customer service Disadvantages: Poor layout
...for a good price, and ebookers were the only site I found who were able to do it.
Customer service
Unusually for an online shopping site, a customer service phone number is clearly displayed at all times. This is a breath of fresh air, very welcome, and it actually puts you through to a human.
Prices
Similar pricing to other last minute travel sites. The real draw here is when you need to get flights fast, and ebookers does this at competitive, ... ...Verdict
A great way to get flights at the last minute - availability is good, and prices are nice. Customer service is very impressive. The only downside is the layout, which is a let down, not user friendly at all. Overall, one of the best travel sites out there. Recommended. I'm now eagerly awaiting my beach resort holiday to Miami! ...

Advantages: Choice. Disadvantages: My mother in law is coming to stay.
...to say the least.
Ebookers was a site that I found that gave me a little more hope. There are all the different methods of travel encompassed on one site, and not only that, their manner of searching for alternatives is pretty good as well.
I started with ferries, and found that their ferry fares actually came out cheaper than booking direct with Brittany Ferries, so there is something very wrong with the pricing structure, if you can go elsewhere ... ...can draw is that ebookers is well used and that Brittany Ferries gives them discounts.
Even allowing for discounts, and having searched all the available ferry lines including the Condor crossing which is a four hour crossing, the travel arrangements were getting difficult to say the least. How do you transport a lady of 84 from Manchester down to a Ferry Port or airport, over to France and then back again, bearing in mind bedtimes, limited capability ...

Advantages: great price, ease of use, friendly and helpful Disadvantages: sometimes slow to deliver
I have used Flighbookers (aka Ebookers) quite a lot. I have always been more than satisfied with the service and the price. I have done quite extensive research and have not been able to beat any of the prices that I have been given from flightbookers. The one downfall that I have found is that during the busier seasons they can get behind in sending tickets out leading the more nervous person (such as me) to chase them down by phoning the office. ...

Advantages: City breaks section is good Disadvantages: Waiting time, takes too long, not big on value
...will say is valuable about ebookers is their city breaks section which will organise a 2 night or 3 night stay in a major European city, starting at about 200 pounds. This is particularly good when places start getting booked up and you are trying to coordinate a flight with finding accomodation. Not such an easy feat when you aren't sure where the city centre is, etc and want to be in the centre of the action. I have never used Ebookers for booking ...

The service was very helpful and courteous and I believe we obtained a very good price.
As a result , I went around promoting them to my family and friends.

No hassle of going into a travel agent and waiting forever to be get a quote. I managed to pick my tickets up from an agency in the centre of Paris and my flight went without any hitches.

I've used ebookers to book my last holiday and found them to be very efficient and professional. They offered the cheapest fare (by £100) for my holiday and my tickets were delivered very quickly. This fare was cheaper than booking directly with the involved airline.
