After trying to book a trip to LA through a "travel price comparison" website, but with far too…read moremany options (I just want the cheapest flight that didn't take 3 days to get there!), I decided to head to STA to ask their advice. Well, the guy behind the desk was amazing! He literally asked me when and where I wanted to go, typed something into his computer, then literally seconds later, *PING!* he said "right, I can book you onto this flight, for this price, whatdayathink?" Wow. Quick and painless, I can tell you that, so I booked there and then. No fuss, no panic, no annoying questions (or popups). Thank you STA - I might even send you a postcard.

No, I use them for travel insurance as it is has the cheapest rates going! Their 99p a day option covers the majority of your possessions (except sunglasses - do we lose them more than other things?) and the service is always brilliant. I have however nipped in to use their holiday planning brochures which are brilliant if your looking for a holiday in a quite little places yet to be touched by masses of tourists! I'm planning a holiday to NYC this summer and the rates here are second to none if you hold a matric card. New York for 279 quid! A serious bargain as a cheap flight outwith student travel is aroud 330. And with San Fran being only 369 its also worth a visit to the west coast of the north american continent! Round the world flights are also offered from 689 pounds with a flight from every major continient and a select flight within each one as well! Definitely the place to stop by if you're planning a trip with your pals or heading solo. You won't find cheaper!

So impressed.

So with an appointment booked my partner and I went in. Service was very friendly and Peta was super helpful. She was able to find us a few different options for flights within the price range I was after. There was nothing I could fault! The appointment lasted an hour, she was completely transparent about our options and certainly secured us a great deal. We booked the trip on the spot. Cannot reccomend highly enough, they're conveniently located on George street and really great for helping to sort more complex travel plans that some of us just cannot be bothered taking the steps to sort out.

Every destination was thoughtfully chosen and truly breathtaking. The excursions and recommendations for things to do were out of this world far beyond what we could have imagined. Every detail, from flight timings and connections to ground transport, was flawlessly coordinated. The entire trip flowed seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the journey. What really stood out was how the team managed to create an experience that felt both luxurious and personal. We made magical memories that we'll treasure for a lifetime, and the only thing I would change is wishing we could have stayed longer. Laura and the entire team were incredible attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

STA Travel was my automatic go to place for travel advice when I decided to go on a trip to South…read moreAmerica a while ago. I think this was partly because I'd been bombarded with STA Travel banter while I was at university, with it being a travel agent specialising in youth and student travel and all that jazz. The idea of a round the world ticket has been my prospective get out of being an adult option for ages, and I am not lying when I say that I think about walking into STA Travel and just booking said ticket and leaving a farewell note on the kitchen table, everytime I pass its doors. When I finally figure out how to save money, I'll be legging it straight down here for the golden ticket to recklessness and sunshine, but for now, a couple of trips abroad, for a few months at a time after I finished uni, have done the job. The staff at this branch of STA were super helpful at assisting me with both of these trips, and seeing as they're all pretty young, and have done a substantial amount of travelling themselves, it's quite an inspiring place to come and get advice from people you can relate to, if you're young that is. I have just edged out of the "Youth" category, (*holds back the tears and the wrinkles*) but there are still some good flight deals and information to be had from the staff here, even if I am no longer classed as young.

This branch seems to have constant clientele (or at least 4 months ago) and even though the people at the desk are friendly it seems to have a rather long waiting time. Plus you never really know who is next in line which can make it awkward. I was there to book a ticket home and was amongst people clutching fliers for exotic treks across Australia and walks across the Andes. The girl was friendly but told me to check their website as they don't usually cater for just flights (what I wanted) more they to tailor match full holidays. According to my friend who used them for her holiday in South America they were very helpful indeed. So my advice would be check their website first, it's what they seem to do anyway. Or try KAYAK for just flights and save you the waiting time. My friend who booked her round the world ticket said they were great for that. I guess it depends for what you want to do.

Booked our second holiday here the other day and now consider the chat with our regular Thomson rep (I won't embarass anyone with names) as all part of the process. A relaxed vibe in here (except on Saturdays!) where you can exchange money and book excursions and other things on top of planning and booking a holiday. Super easy to pay up all holidays, simply jumping in to pay off a wee bit more at a time up until 3 months before your departure date. Booked a holiday from here that was the backdrop to our wedding and it was amazing. We didn't have a great time with travelling, and when we told them about the specifics they were shocked and immediately got on top of it and fought our case with the parties involved on our behalf. Happiness.
