This travel site is totally dedicated to single parents taking their kids on holiday. You have to leave your details and they get back to you, no online bookings.
Bargainholidays
The best deals for flights to the Caribbean, India and more. They are literally chucking bargain flights at you! The dates you want are not always available.
TripAdvisor
Brilliant site for reviews by fellow travellers. Find hotels, flights etc... so much information you can surf on here for hours. You can't book flights directly through them, you have to click on other travel sites.
Expedia
Great site with loads of options, the best one is the inspirator, click on it answer three questions and it gives you great ideas on where to go. You will need patience to surf this site.
Opodo
Great site the layout alone makes you want to go on holiday. Very good deals. The meaningful travel section is fantastic especially for gap years or if you want to make a difference like working with orang-utans, saving turtles and much much more. Ther's an overwhelming amount of choice!
babygoes2
An entire site dedicated to holidays with your little darlings.
They really have thought about everything on here, from the flight duration to the local food, which jabs you may need, what to pack for the kids on long haul flights etc... simply brilliant.
ebookers
Simple and clean site. Very efficient, you can find everything you need from flights to hotels.
easyJet
The pioneer in low cost travel. So easy to book. You can change you bookings at any time this will cost an extra £20.00 well worth it considering most airlines don't allow this. You need to book well in advance for the cheapest deals.
Ryanair
Good, super cheap flights, the site is easy to use. Be careful, as they do not go to main airports! Do not expect any thing from this airline, everything costs extra - even a smile - hence the cheapness!
ResponsibleTravel
Revolutionary idea to promote responsible travel, make a difference whilst travelling and do something productive i.e.; help the gorillas in Africa etc... Most trips are quite expensive but you can opt for a budget trip.
British Airways
Reliable and safe this is one of the best sites around, very easy to use and totally hassle free.
lastminute
Loads of holidays and last minute deals if you're able to go anywhere at the drop of a hat. The dates rarely match the ones you want.
LondonTown
Everything you need to find in London. There is a fantastic selection of hotels and B&B's, shopping, entertainment and loads more. Some things are slightly out of date.
CouchSurfing
A revolutionary way of travelling. Basically you stay on people's couches! An amazing way to make connections worldwide. Read the safety guide as this site really makes peoples safety their number one priority. The site is a little confusing at first, persevere and you'll get to grips with it.
Bed and Breakfasts UK
Out of all the B&B sites this is the most interesting and functional one out there, the B&B selection is fabulous.
Travel | Telegraph
good; great travel section, really good for short city breaks with direct links to hotels.
Hotels
Find a hostel any where in the world, brilliant rating system written by people who have stayed in the hostel you choose, the comments are very honest. You have to trust the comments of strangers, so run the risk of staying in a dump.

HipHotels.net
Finally a site that offers something special when booking a hotel, there are so many sites that offer bog standard accommodation. This is really refreshing!

A great idea, you can have your tickets delivered on the same day if you book them between 8am-3pm. Only available in London.
The Man in Seat Sixty-One...
Brilliant site, basically get from London to anywhere in the world by train! Links to other rail sites as well on here.
National Rail Enquiries
Good; All the information you need about train fares and travel. You can get all the information sent to you by text. Slightly confusing when it comes to booking online. The site could be a lot simpler.
TheTrainLine
Book a train ticket for any where in the world. For UK travel just type in all the info you have and trainline will find your journey times. The site can be a bit tricky to use and you also need to log in.
Tube | Transport for London
Good; Up to the minute information on tube delays, plan your journey. Pay the congestion charge online, full London weather section, cycle routes throughout London. A great site for getting around town but the tube route planner is badly designed and confusing to use.
Tubeplanner
So easy to use, just type in your journey and the tube planner will tell you exactly which tube lines to catch.
