Hot travel dealsWe may not be the prettiest travel site but just like Susan Boyle we sing beautifully about the best hot deals in travel.

So who has best hot travel deals around at the moment, well we have covered the fact that travel comparison sites are pretty much useless in that you never get the deal they are offering.

Without fear of repeating ourselves, Thomson holidays and Thomas Cook who betwean them cover 70% of the best travel deals in the UK, due to the fact they own so many of the best tour operators.

Freedom Direct holidays update

Freedom Direct holidays update - direct booking holiday advice.

Travel news: The liquidators of failed freedom direct holidays, have blamed the collapse on the failure of the company to finalise its accounts on time.

It sickeningly pathetic that the loss of 80 jobs and distress caused to holidaymakers, is caused by some idiot not finalizing the accounts. We call for the directors to be prosecuted and banned from holding such positions again.

Retailer and operator Freedom Direct Holidays went into voluntary liquidation on Thursday, April 16. Freedom Direct holidays traded without an ATOL until its collapse, when the Civil Aviation Authority pulled its £250,000 bond.
