I am getting some quite remarkable quotes for flights from this company. Eg a saving of some £1300 on a 1st class return flight from Glasgow to BKK with Emirates. Being a bit of a cynic I tend to be suspicious of things that appear almost too good to be true. Anybody had any dealings with this booking company, especially with regards to premium class flights?

If you google the buget air name there are mixed reviews, it seems like they add on 2% for Credit Cards, the company is based in the Netherlands, so maybe you lose some consumer rights.

Maybe there is a more reputable travel firm which can offer you a fare a tad higher than budget air although £1300 is a massive saving

Yes Gus, I tried google and couldn't find any trend good or bad; as you say mixed but I didn't notice anything exceptional just the normal whinges on tripadvisor that any company gets. The credit card charge was not noted though, and would add on some ￡60 for this fare, so thanks for that. No great problem though if the product is what I would normally get, due to savings involved, and the insurance provided by credit card use is a must really. I haven't used a third party booking agency for ages now, generally booking direct through airlines websites, and only came across this lot by accident when checking something else out on seat guru. At this stage of life I really don't need to scrimp around, but just cannot ignore a good bargain!

It also produced a good price on a 1st Class Emirates for me for Manchester BKK.

(£1500 less than usual)
