    To find the cheapest flights i use whichbudget.com but i’ll definitely have a look through your list for accommodation as i have none sorted yet thanks

  • milene says:

    in australia webjet.com.au is a very good one to search for flights and getting the best deal. if you’ve got a credit card book straight with the airline tho, the deals are great but they charge comission whereas the airlines don’t.
    i’ve hear cheapoair.com is also a very good one.

    Hi,

    I’m afraid a list like this will never be fully complete, so you may want to add or check out momondo.com. The search the web for the cheapest hotels and flights. It’s a pretty decent and quick site.

    Cheers,
    Max

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the great tips!

    I may well update the post with a longer list once I have a few more recommendations for people.

    whichbudget.com,momondo.com look pretty good.

    I’ve also used webjet.com.au too, but I’m trying to keep the site less country specific really.

  • Interesting!

    Everyone loves going to a vacation. It is a good activity or bonding with family and friends. It is very to check on the things you need to bring. Start with the most useful like clothes, toiletries and stuff you need. Select a vacation bag that is comfortable for your belongings and also comfortable for you to bring.

    Your missing the biggest local-travel booking company (accommodation, tours and activities) out there: whl.travel

    We’re a global network of locally owned travel booking companies that share a common technology platform as well as a passion for sustainable tourism and extending the benefits of online marketing to the small accommodation providers who otherwise have no presence on the big global booking sites you mention.

    We’ve currently got 180 destinations covered in about 80 countries, most of them in the developing world, with another 100 or so destinations (for now) to be launched in the coming months.

    Thanks for the comments guys…

    Ethan, I checked out the site whl.travel. Looks pretty good. I think I’ve come across it before. It may well feature in the updated version of this article.

    Thanks,

    Hi Paul,

    Glad you like what you see at whl.travel. Needless to say, we’d be happy for a bit of spotlight. If you do decide to do so, please drop me a line for any information beyond what you see. I’m the company’s media liaison and content guy. You should have my email, provided with these comments but hidden in the guts of the system. Also note that there is a lot more info on our blog: whl.travel/blog (or @whltravelBlog).

    Best,
    Ethan
