Advantages: Cheaper than Thomson

Disadvantages: Baggage allowance

When I used Portland a few months ago I was looking to go to the Caribbean but I was searching through Thomson as I ha not heard of Portland. It seem a lot of the hotels I was looking at were exclusive to Thomson and the prices were quite high, it wasn't until seeing Portland advertised that I realised that they are part of Thomson and offer pretty much the same holidays. The only difference I found was the price, for about £200 cheaper I could get the exact same holiday as Thomson, I don't understand how they can offer it so much cheaper as they seem to be the same company but I couldn't complain and long may it continue. Even when you get to your hotel it is Thomson reps, the reps were ok, quite helpful but obviously wanting to push their trips to get their cut of commission!

Summary: Seem the same as Thomson but cheaper
