Why book flights with Oliey

Compare, then book with people who answer

Oliey searches scheduled airlines, low-cost carriers and our own negotiated fares, then shows the total price per traveller including taxes. You can filter by stops, airline and departure time, see how much checked baggage is included, and check whether a fare can be changed before you pay.

Once you book, a UK-based travel team confirms your tickets and is on hand for name corrections, date changes, extra baggage and special assistance. If a route is not available instantly, request a quote and we will come back with options, usually within 2 hours during opening hours.

Tips for finding the cheapest fare

  • Fly midweek: Tuesday and Wednesday departures are often cheaper than Friday and Sunday.
  • Compare nearby airports: London has six, and Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh often beat London prices on European routes.
  • Book long-haul 8–12 weeks ahead and European short-haul 4–8 weeks ahead for the best balance of price and choice.
  • Set a price alert and let us watch the route for you.
How do I book a flight with Oliey?

Enter where you are flying from and to, your travel dates and the number of passengers, then search. Compare the results by price, journey time and what each fare includes, choose a fare, and enter each traveller's details exactly as they appear on their passport. You will see the full price in pounds before you pay by card. Once the airline confirms, we email you a confirmation with your Oliey reference and the airline reference.

Is the price I see the price I pay?

The price shown before payment includes the fare, the taxes and charges known at the time, and any Oliey fee. It does not include optional extras you add later, such as extra bags or seats, or charges the airline makes at the airport. If you pay with a card issued in another currency, your bank may add a conversion fee. We will not add a charge to your booking without telling you first.

Why did the fare change while I was booking?

Airline fares are live, and only a limited number of seats are sold at each price. If the last seats at a fare sell while you are completing your booking, or the airline updates its prices, the fare can change before your booking is confirmed. When this happens, we show you the new price before taking payment and you can decide whether to continue. Once your booking is confirmed, the fare is fixed.

How do I know my booking is confirmed?

Your booking is confirmed when you receive our confirmation email with your Oliey booking reference and the airline booking reference. For most flights, e-ticket numbers follow shortly afterwards. If you have paid but no confirmation arrives within a few hours, check your spam or junk folder, then email contact@oliey.com. Please do not book again in the meantime, as this could create a duplicate booking that you have to pay for.

Can I book flights for other people?

Yes. You can book for family, friends or colleagues, and you do not have to be one of the travellers. Enter each person's details exactly as shown on their passport. As the person who made the booking, you will receive the confirmation and any updates, so please pass on the travel details, fare rules and any schedule changes to everyone on the booking. Airlines have their own rules for children travelling without an adult.

What happens if my request is handled as a quote?

Some trips, such as group bookings, complex routes or tailor-made packages, are priced by our travel team rather than booked instantly. Send us your request and the team will reply with a quote during business hours. The quote shows the price, what is included and how long the price is held. Nothing is booked or charged until you accept the quote and pay, and we email your confirmation once the booking is made.
