    Looking for a bit of advice.
    I Want to book a holiday for august. I've looked up some websites and seen what I want. Only problem is I don't have a credit card.
    Can someone tell me, will it be much more expensive to book the same holiday through a travel agent?
    For example Budget travel have a website and shops. How much dearer would it be in the shop compared to the website?
    Any help/information would be appreciated.

    Here is a website where you can find travel tips.

    I find it very useful because they have so much articles in traveling on a budget. Please take a look. It might help you.

    Probably wrong but I thought that there would be no difference between a site and a store when it's the same company.

    Although you would expect it to be the same a lot of travel agents put their specials online where most people check first.

    Not having a credit card is no problem. Buy yourself a 3V credit card.

    Thought of that but the limit is only 350 euro. Thought of using a laser as well but that has a limit of only 1500 euro. With the pair of us going it'll be over 1500.

    Pay twice with Laser. I paid using my Laser for my Singapore Airlines flight because they put through the tickets seperately as transactions go.

    I would suggest giving them a sizable deposit through Laser then paying the remaining balance with your Laser.

    Im sure the agent will know what options is best for them to make the transaction.

    dont know about budget coz never use them, but falcon are def cheaper on-line they give really good discounts. this yr we saved 400euro lastyr think it was 350euro. can ring falcon too and get the on-line price.

    re: 3v card the voucher limit is 350, you can buy more then 1 voutcher, if you book with falcon who u can ring u just explain ur using a 3v card and you have couple of the voutchers , so they will only charge 350 a time.

    Thanks for the help. Never thought about paying half of it now and half later.
    Seems so obvious now. Might try to do that.
