Advantages: Can beat almost any genuine quote.
Disadvantages: Waiting hours to find the best deals.
**** Introduction ****
A few years ago my family bought a holiday villa in Orland Florida, this was an escape place that the whole family can use when ever we could get a few weeks off.
Having the villa makes trips to Florida very cheap indeed as we no longer need to pay excessive hotel bills, the major cost is the flights.
Sometimes we can pick up very cheap charter flights but these are limited as only a hand full of companies will offer the service.
Thomas Cook airlines has been a favorite of ours for many years, as they will compete with any online flight quotes we have found before hand.
**** The Company ****
You can book online if you have certain times and dates which you need to stick to, but in my experience you are best getting a few online quotes and taking them to your nearest Thomas Cook travel agent.
I have done this for the past four years and always come away with very competative flight prices, You have to allow an hour of so to do this as the travel agent will try to match and even beat any quotes you may have.
I would book online but I like to book early so I know that I am actually traveling on them certain times, when booking with Thomas cook this insures me that I am actually going on the specified dates and I can pay the flights off in installments.
To book you have to pay a deposit usually 10% of the total amount and have it cleared 6 weeks prior to flying.
**** My Views ****
I do recommend Thomas Cook airlines as there customer service is exceptional, they will go out of their way to insure you get the best possible deals, I believe this to be very true as they have always matched and even beaten quotes I have taken in to them.
I love the fact that I can pay flight off bit by bit, which is great when all eight of go to Florida. I do have to admit I tend to book online if it is just me and my partner going as the flights are cheap enough to pay off in one lump sum.
I recommend Thomas Cook airlines to any one who flys on a regular basis, They are very helpful in meeting all of your needs.
Summary: Recommended

- 06/03/09 a good review and used to really rate them. i didnt have fun with them last year as they subcharted us to airbee and delayed us for hours both there and back to sorrento then lost our luggage for a week so feel they have let their standards it slip a little of late |

- 06/03/09 As a marketing guru it is clear to me that they should rename the airline part of their business Thomas Bligh so that they can then use the slogan "Don't Just Fly There, Thomas Bligh There" |

- 03/03/09 What's the service like on the actual flight and - more importantly - what's the seat pitch like? |
