This is a clear, easy and friendly website, where you can compare flight prices for anywhere in the world, with excellent short notice offers and almost always the same prices you will find on the individual airline sites. Register and give your future flight requirements and they will e-mail you when there is a price shift and remember you when you return to make your next booking even easier.. You can also find deals on hotels (mainly the large groups) and car hire.

This is probably the largest of the multi travel booking websites and certainly the easiest to use. Just key in the destination you want, dates and number of people who are travelling and you can almost immedately see which flights are applicable and at what prices. You can also select one way trips and premium class options. Then you can go on and book hotels all over the world (with or without flights) and car hire as well. Register so that your details are stored for your next trip.

Filled with USG (User Generated Content) and links to where you can book, this is the place for totally unfiltered and personal views on hotels and places to visit with visitors’ own photographs, so those hotels trying to hide behind professionally taken pics and their own reviews can no longer do so. It’s important to look at all the reviews for a specific place and not just go by the one or two exceptionally bad or good ones, and the average ratings will tell you more than anything else, provided there are enough, of course.

On this well known and multitasking website you can compare flight prices, book hotels and car hire plus restaurants, theatres, sporting events and much more, including hotel, flight and fixture tickets for Rugby in Sydney or dinner for two at The Ritz in London. Personally I think that some of the choice is a little overwhelming but lastminute.com frequently offers very good prices plus the facility to link together different outward and inward bound flights, which some other websites do not.

This is a very clear and easy to use website offering you everything to everywhere (don't they all?) they frequently have the best prices on flights and upgrades so you always need to check prices here. You can also book your airport parking or a car to pick you up from home and reserve your place in the Airport Lounge.

‘It’s a jungle out there’ is the motto here and where travel booking is concerned they’re absolutely right – just who should you use to book? Travel Jungle will search all the last minute offers and discounted holidays available through other websites for flights, hotels, car hire and insurance and when searching for flights it includes budget carriers as well as traditional airlines. It’s well worth taking a look when you’re in a hurry.
