hi,
is budgettravel.ie any good? i found what looks like a great deal for a holiday i'm planning to greece. do budgettravel have their own planes? i'm confused how that bit works. and i'm trying to find out if the planes are decent or if they're hellish old uncomfortable rust buckets.

Budget Travel is a big tour-operator (they've been around since the 70's), and are now owned by TUI, one of Europes biggest tour operator/airlines. So they aren't a fly by night operation by any means.

They don't operate their own planes as such, but use charter operators like Futura, Thomsonfly (one of TUI's own airlines) etc

Ive gone on a couple of holidays with Budget. Id hadnt heard great things before i booked with them but everything worked out grand. Planes are fine, were safe enough to fly in! Flew with Futura last time i think, seats are a little on the small side but for what you pay for a package holiday they do just fine!

The Budget Travel of today is not the old company that everybody knew. That went bankrupt some time ago. Club Travel bought the trading name Budget Travel and sell holidays using that name. They do not charter any aircraft. You will be flying on a scheduled flight. They are a very reputable company and you should not have any problems.
