Bargain Travel Websites

There are lots of places to look for a bargain break. To get the best deal, you need to be open minded about your destination and be ready do some leg-work (shop around).

teletextholidays - is a good place to start your search. Even though you have to phone to book most of the holidays, and the offers are no more up to date than the TV version, it's quicker than sitting in front of the TV and it gives you a benchmark against which to judge other offers.

(If you like the TV ads, you can view them online, and change the page at your own speed rather than just before you've taken down the number).
