    I booked about 4 days before i went and got a pretty good deal using onthebeach.com. Try and leave it as late as you can and you should see the prices come down.

    Sign up for the Travelzoo email updates - loads of bargains on there

    Got our flights for trip to the States in November for £260 return as a result of that.

    I've just booked...

    <div>..a holiday at end of month with Travel Republic, which beat On the beach by &pound;60. This is a DIY holiday though, no frills flight etc. </div><div>Cheapest package provider I find is Fleetwaytravel.com. </div><div>I will not touch Teletext holidays, the company behind them is Media Travel who split half their business with a call centre in India. Do no trust what they say, and have loads of hidden extras at end of booking process. staff are rude and they are not interested in helping you unless you are phoning up to book a holiday.</div>

    I'd completely disagree with that re teletext

    They also work on franchises, so I could sell them and work for myself, whilst getting trade prices.

    Ive booked my last few holidays with a teletext rep - who works for and keeps 100% of the commission. Always been the cheapest by far with no hidden costs and their disclaimer also says the cost you are quoted is the cost you pay. The franchise reps are legally bound to include airport taxes etc..... If they dont they have to take it out of their comms.

    Everybody has different experiences I guess.
