I always look up hotels and locations on boutique websites just for the feedback. Sometimes I go on to use them, but I always check prices with trailfinders first.

If you’re booking flights check out this site to decide on seats and compare airlines. I never book flights directly with an airline but try to use an abta agency (usually trailfinders) because of the extra protection. I always buy large items such as flight tickets with a credit card because if anything goes wrong, I can claim against my credit card company as well as the company I’m buying from.

I use trailfinders for booking flights and always get the to quote for the rest of the trip (hotels etc). If they’re competitive on the price then I use them just for the convenience of wrapping the whole package together.
