Useful sites for flights, hotels and more...
-
01-05-2007 3:49pmBelow is a collection of links to websites which have been recommended by other boards.ie users over the last couple of years. Boards.ie isn't a travel agency, so before posting and asking if someone can find out how much X hotel is, or a flight between A and B, search the links here. If you can't find the information you need here, you probably will need professional help...from a travel professional, that is. Feel free to suggest any other sites you think might be useful to boards.ie users.
Please don't clutter the thread with comments good or bad about these operators, or questions - start a new thread instead.
Finally, boards.ie has no affiliation with any of these operators, so you use them at your own risk.
