anyone use Travelbag?
 
has anyone used this company? I am tempted to try them as they seem to have some bargains.

If you are referring to Travelbay in the UK they are a long well established company with a decent reputation.

Typo: Travelbag I meant!

sarah<BR>thanks.I had been told that they were like the old &quot;bucket&quot; shops. But have found out since that they are ABTA registered.

I used them a few times. As far as I know, very large and reputable

According to today's press, being taken over by Ebookers for &pound;55 mm - so must be reasonable size!

We've used the Regent Street branch several times - no problems at all (except that, if you already have insurance, you may want to resist the 'optional' extra travel insurance premium that they will try to add).

Just used Travelbag (UK) to book flights to Sri Lanka. They were cheaper than Trailfinders and Bridge the World which we usually use. The guy on the phone was really helpful and we can track our ticket status etc online. He didn't hassle us for insurance but they always ask these days.<BR>I read too that ebookers were taking over both Travelbag and Bridge the World. This is a pity I think.

thanks for all the replies. I will keep them in mind for my next holiday.
