Has anybody used this site for booking flights. Are they trustworthy (obviously worried about spending a chunk of cash and them going bump!)

I'll be paying by credit card so that's covered, but they state that you are given an 'e-ticket'. I don't want to turn up for a flight to the US towing family along and find the check in girl says "what ticket!"

(You can tell I don't get away much)

e-ticket is normal these days.

Many airlines don't even issue e-tickets any more. They just reserve the flight against your passport number. You arrive at check in, give them your passport and Robert is your uncle.

Have agood flight !!

Grrrr! Bloody search engines. Spent an hour going through all these 'cheap flight' sites. All come up with attractive prices, go to the site they recommend and none of the prices exist.

Don't use one of those sites to book Ryanair...

They cancel your ticket when you turn up for the flight...

I used them to go to Malta last year. They were the cheapest on the web at the time, I got an asbo number (or whatever it's called) in case the holiday got cancelled, turned up at the airport, showed them my ticket, and had a wonderful holiday thankyouverymuch. No problems whatsoever.

They're saved in my favourites for cheap holidays and I'll use them again.

they were absolute cr=p when we used them this year.

I can't be bothered going into detail but long story short they changed a booking once we were on holiday, their customer service was beyond awful - we were lied to no end of times - ended up having to book a seperate flight home (via someone else) in order to make it back in a sensible time frame....

Never again - ever!!
