    Been hunting online for honeymoon destinations/prices tonight. We had decided on Mexico a while back, just want a gorgeous beach to relax on.... but then I had a thought, fly to Las Vegas first then on to Mexico. We got engaged in Vegas so it seems perfect to spend our Honeymoon where it all started.

    Anyway, i found a price on an online travel company and it was approx £1389 each which included 10 nights in 2 4* hotels, all transfers, all flights, all inclusive in cancun etc.. I've never heard of "the internet traveller" before so was wondering if anyone on here has booked anything through them? Or if anyone has booked a twin-centre honeymoon and who you booked it with? It seems such a perfect honeymoon and price so i'm a bit wary?!

    Does it tell you who the individual providers are? I.e who the flights are with ? That might give you more of a clue. I've never heard of it either. Have you searched for reviews of it?

    If it's dodgy - people will have written about it online somewhere. x

    I think it's part of the The Co-Operative Travel but it didnt give loads of details etc, unless it provides that someone else on their website...and i did have a google for reviews and they were all really good! xx

    If the reviews are good, then that is a good sign. Are they affiliated with ATOL & ABTA? That's a sure sign you're dealing with a reputable company.

    I've never heard of them but if there's lots of good, up to date reviews on them then i'd think you'd be ok :-) x

    I might see if you can look them up through ABTA or ATOL just to be sure they didn't just put it on their website.

    If it's through co-op travel then you should be fine. To be fair Internet holiday are so much cheaper hun. Have a good look on interweb tomorrow and check out any reviews xxx

    I'm the manager of a travel agents for the big one with the smile logo, and I've not heard of them. I'd be wary and do lots of research first!!
    If you'd like me to check details out, just send me a pm :) x

    If your worried about the company take down the details of the holiday they have on offer and take it to a high street travel agents and see if they can match it, i did this with my first wedding honeymoon and they matched it so made me feel a bit more secure and its always worth a try.

    That's what I was worried about Samantha - not sure how i'd search them?!

    Thanks Tanya! You sure you wouldn't mind doing that? Sent you a friend request - not sure how to message you?

    Excellent idea Madison, no harm in hunting around and even though this company might be perfectly legitimate, I'd feel tonnes safer if we could get the same deal through a high street travel agent xxx

    Great idea about printing off the offer and taking it in to another travel agent! We did this as I'd put together our package ourselves and then took them to 2 very well know travel agents and one independent and basically played them all off against each other. Got the price we wanted with the added security of it being a reputable company too - win win!
