Good prices for early on-line bookings, however, be aware that, particularly at busy times, they may try and change your flights to suit their business rather than you.
OTHER:
I booked First Choice flights in May 2004 for December 2004, however, after they chose to change my flight details twice and then tried charging me to change them back. Finally, after several phone calls, they did change them back to the original flights, however, by this time, I was so disillusioned with the company, I opted to travel with another carrier and forego my payment.
