My wife uses the web to search for cheap holidays so it seemed like a good idea. Why would anyone want to sit in a travel agents when they can compare hundreds of holiday and flight packages with out leaving home. We have developed http://www.travelaide.co.uk for UK surfers to find the best deals in the UK

Best of all – it does not cache old results as most other searchengines…

When mentioning flight comparison sites; however, http://www.travelmarket.com/ is definitely worth checking out as well! It searches for the cheapest prices among the latest flights.

I definitely agree that it’s interesting how people work so hard to save money on flights and then pay top dollar for hotels. Not only that, but sometimes it’s just really hard to find a good hotel, something that fits your mood and personality and gives you the best out of your vacation. Finding cheap travel that still fits your needs and personality seems to be really difficult. You should check out this site: http://www.roomforyourimagination.com. It’s has some really funny videos, and I think it showcases the whole point of hotels–to fit your personality and your style. My favorite video is from room 223 called Labels. It’s so hilarious! Gymnasts is good too! You need to go check it out! These videos are awesome…I work with them so I have the inside scoop!

Very useful to find the best air fares.
