But with companys going belly up left right and centre it may be worth a look into booking through a well established and well thought of local travel agents. My friend recently booked his holiday to Vietnam through this place and was extremely happy with the service he got. It was all efficent, friendly and saved him a bit of time, effort and money. He would probably claim that he did this to have insurance but I know for a fact that he only went here because it is owned and operated by local golf legend and Tiger Woods 03 Commentator David Feherty's dad. For me, that is honestly enough for me to go there. I know that is pretty mental, but thats how it goes.

In recent times booking a holiday has become a little bit of a mine field. Low cost, last minute…read moreholiday websites have become all the rage. But the trouble with these is that you can not trust what they are selling you, after booking next thing you know you will be the star of holiday nightmares and will be occupying the prime time slot on ITV. So if you would rather avoid this and book a holiday face to face and actually talk to a person about your destination then look no further than Feherty Travel. This is one of Bangor's oldest and most reliable businesses. They have been providing holidays for the people of Bangor for over 20 years. This knowledge has helped plenty of my friends find the perfect getaway. Another great this about Feherty travel is that they will offer you a free holiday quote and are happy to answer any questions you might have. As I found out last year. There advice was open and honest. I think that was because they are not affiliated with any airlines or travel companies. This means they want to get you the best deal. I know that my friends and family are always very complimentary about the service they received at Fehertys.

I have dealt with Travel Solutions on a number of occasions and can gladly say they have been…read moreexcellent every time.The firm offers a wide range of coach tours, entertainment breaks and day trips to places, but the main use to me was their sports tours. As everyone in Northern Ireland knows, the standard of our football league isn't great to say the least, which leads to everyone ending up supporting an English team if they want to pursue quality ( or else one of two Scottish teams if they don't care about quality but they do love sectarian hatred!) Me and my big brother have been huge Man Utd supporters from the age of 4 years old, but untill a few years ago we had never been to see them because our Dad is amotor nut and hates football with a passion!That is when we decided to take things into our own hands! I have now been 4 different trips in the last year with Travel Solutions and they have improved their operations on the coachs immeasurably.The buses used to go via Dublin but now go straight from Belfast to Liverpool which saves a lot of time being cooped up! The trips are reasonably priced, for example for £159 my brother and I went to see the Champions League quarter final this year.The trip includes match ticket, all coach transfer, hotel for the night and free meal on re-entry to the hotel and breakfast in the morning.You could never get this kind of value yourself! Also all the tickets are season tickets, which means better seats and 10% off in the Superstore!On the occasion my girlfriend and I went to see Utd play Everton I was right at the corner flag, and got about 50 texts from my mates who seen me on TV abusing me for looking like I was taking a picture of John O Shea's arse! I would do it again any day!!! The bus guides are friendly and only to eager to help advice you, so if you are wanting a sports tour to Manchester, look no further than Travel solutions!

As Declan said "You could never get this kind of value yourself"…read more €250 pp booked a week and a half before the game for...Coach collection at Irish Ferries port, boat to Hollyhead, transfer to Novetel Hotel, Worsley, Manchester, dinner that evening, accommodation, breakfast the following morning, transfers to Old Trafford and back to the hotel, another dinner, a second night's accommodation, breakkie in the morning then the return transfers, a quick stop for cheap shopping in Wales, back on the boat and back to Irish Ferries port. The guide, Bobby, was so friendly and helpful, he was very informative and open to questions. This is a very slick service, probably because they have been doing it for so many years. I wouldn't hesitate to use Travel Solutions again for another football trip.

I came across this company after my brother booked a 'lads' holiday to Santa Ponsa with them. He…read moreand his four other friends decided to go away after completing their University degrees (noticeably when I finished mine, I went to Tony Romas and had to work at the weekend). Thomson required them to pay their deposit in cash and it had to be paid directly to this branch. Living in Enniskillen this proved problematic for the boys, therefore I suggested that I'd bring up their money and pay it for them. My first impression of this branch was excellent as it was really well laid out and I didn't have long to wait to be seen at all. Whilst I was waiting though I took the opportunity to browse through their brochures and I was really surprised at how cheap some of their holidays were. The deals were what I was drawn to first and if you are looking for a holiday, they have some great deals. I was then called by a more than helpful lady. She immediately sorted the deposits out and gave me receipts for the boys. The boys said the holiday was fantastic and that Thomson were more than accommodating for them. I think I'll use this company next year when booking my Summer holiday.

That was a very exuberant start to this review but still, the reason is this is where myself and my girlfriend found our trip to New York last February. We had been browsing through the multitude of holiday comparison sites for hotels and flight combinations. It seemed booking with Aer Lingus was the cheapest way to go, via Dublin airport. But alas, as prices soared closer to pay day it was looking less and less likely that we were going to be able to afford a trip away so soon. It took my girlfriend to walk past the store in Caste Court to find the bargain of the century, oddly leaving and returning on the exact dates we had planned. It included direct flights with Continental airlines from Belfast to Newark airport and three nights in a four star hotel just beside Central Park for....£410 each... a fantastic price if I must say., The whole thing went extremely smoothly, booked on the phone before calling down to collect a few documents. Highly recommend.

Always a good experience with these guys…read more They are easy to deal with. Booked a trip with them to NY over the phone. They always have deals. Anytime I want to travel to USA they are my go to. They are cheaper than anywhere else. The staff have experience of visiting the destinations.

We developed a saying on a holiday with Thomas Cook: "We're not Brazil, we're Thomas Cook!"…read more And whilst on a night out for young ones arranged by Thomas Cook, we got dragged around the resort, bar to club to bar to club, free shots at the door, and things happened on that night out which if they made it onto the internet could result in much more trouble than anyone would want. Nevertheless we went to a funfair the day after and I survived not throwing up... but only just... Thomas Cook do try to go the extra mile, arranging excursions and meetings, sorting out any difficulties and giving us a bit of information about the place we are staying and how to make the most of our journey. Sadly, every single rep that I have come across has been irritatingly smug and I would love to throw under a bus. I do like the way Thomas Cook try their best to give you a holiday experience, but sometimes they can throw themselves and their smug little faces into their job so much that they become almost patronising. Still, at least they make the effort. And for that I cannot really fault them. They aren't quite Brazil, but at least they are Thomas Cook.
