What is difference between ebookers & trailfinders?

jimbo1205 · 2005-12-05 13:56:05

Hello all Is there a typical/usual price difference between these two brokers, why is one jammers every weekend and one empty? Am considering using one of the above and assuming they both use same travel search engines and therefore same pricing, will happily go with ebookers as they appear to have no waiting…

Hello all

Is there a typical/usual price difference between these two brokers, why is one jammers every weekend and one empty? Am considering using one of the above and assuming they both use same travel search engines and therefore same pricing, will happily go with ebookers as they appear to have no waiting times/queues...can anyone offer advice on this??

They may not nessecarily use the same systems to book fares, and one may have a better offer than that other - it can very greatly.

Have a look at previous post

All things being equal If pricing is the same i would go with Ebookers
Trailfinders have a good international presence with shops throughout cities in oz ,england etc people like that .
Trailfinders also have had a shop in Ireland for a good many years so there is a tradition of students long haul -> USIT
everyone else ->trailfinders
Personally as you can see from my other post I would never use them again
Also went to USIT and would recommend them -but there are queues there too but pricing is usually the same as Trailfinders.
