Thompson’s a household name in the UK travel industry as well as abroad, and it’s a monster. More than four decades arranging holidays and more staff on tap than any other holiday operator, they’re justifiably proud of their flexibility. Gone are the days when you had a limited choice on the high street. With Thomson holidays you can book your whole holiday or do it bit by bit. Find and book your flights only, or just your accommodation. Or only use Thomson Holidays for your holiday car hire… they’re cool. No probs. 

If you fancy trawling your way through 65,000 hotels, apartments and villas off your own bat, good luck to you my friend. If, like us, you’re far too busy go to the Thomson Holidays website and use their search facility. That’s more like it. The ‘Thomson Plus’ logo guarantees that they’ve checked out the hotel and it meets health and safety standards, in case you’re turned on by such things. Thomson flies from 24 regional and city airports in the UK, not quite as many as Ryanair but not far off. They’ve got more than 100 destinations on offer plus two thousand or so hotel and destination videos on their website. Plus customer reviews and podcasts and Google Earth, from which you can check out many of their hotels. 

Thomson holidays’ website is an award winner, having grabbed a Hitwise Number 1 Award this year. During much of 2008 Thomson Holidays has ranked top for UK visitors in Hitwise’s travel agency category. Skiing? They do it. Beach holidays? Yup. All inclusive resorts in far away places? No problem. Exotic adults only holidays in a tropical paradise? OK. Family holidays in the UK and abroad, all over the planet? Yes. Big and trustworthy with a whopping 650+ high street travel agency shops to pop into if you want to talk to a real person.
