Airline Network?
Has anyone booked their flights through Airline Network? We like some of their options, but the same flights are either not available on other sites or the airline site direct, or they are available but three times the cost! Just a bit dubious that they might be too good to be true......

Hi Bert
We have deposits on flights with airline network.
We have used them quite a few times, the first time was a family holiday to disney, florida.
We have never has a problem with them.
If you prefer speak to them on the phone, and then if you want you can still book online

Re: Airline Network?
A good travel agency to book with when flying Down Under or to Asia is
http://www.leestravel.com
http://www.leestravel.com/south-east...nformation.htm
They are a consolidator for many of the Asian airlines (eg. Singapore, Malaysian, Emirates etc) and also have an office near Marble Arch in London rather than having a call-centre based in India. I lived in Singapore for a few years and many British expats used Lees to book flights when their rellies and friends came out to visit from the UK as they are reliable and have a good reputation.
Actually, where is Airline Network based? I know that eBookers is all done through a call centre in India, is Airline Network the same? It concerns me a bit if you need to change flights etc. and end up talking to different people if there is something to dispute or need clarifying.
(edited; I put .co.uk by mistake instead of .com for the link).

So good that he bought us tickets to come back next summer and then back to Oz again. He said that it would be good for me to have a visit back to my family to look forward too. Aaaahhhhh isn't that sweet. I worked out today its because he wants to see the last 2 weeks of the World Cup in the Northern Hemisphere
we fly home the day after the final.....We fly 2 weeks today!

I have only used them once back in April when we booked our flights and hotel to Thailand.
Slightly disorganised trying to get info from sales assistants, but the tickets arrived promptly, they organised someone to meet us at the airport, in fact everything was perfect.
That was a package though and cant comment on flights only, but I would use them again for sure.

Re: Airline Network?
Thanks for the help. We booked through Quest, and they were exceptionally helpful. Airline Network couldnt get me off the phone quick enough, whereas Quest altered our flights to our requirements, boooked our seats for us etc. Couldnt recommend them enough to be honest. Oh and even managed to get the flights cheaper then Airline Network too!!!!! It did help having a good idea of how much airline network were quoting beforehand though just to compare.
Totally top notch service! We're off on the 28th November flying Cathay to Hong Kong, then on to Sydney. 5 nights in Sydney then flying Jetstar on to real life in Mackay where my job is waiting
