Hays Travel is the UK’s largest independent travel agent and was first established as a small retail shop in Seaham, County Durham by John Hays – where he first fell in love with the travel industry. Across the country we have over 180 high-street retail shops and, following recent exciting news, have now acquired the 555 former Thomas Cook shops. 

Fully ABTA and ATOL bonded; we offer you complete financial security and our independent status means we can do the job properly – finding you the perfect holiday! Our well-travelled and trained staff pride themselves in the best quality customer service. Access to a wide choice of tour operators and airlines means we also have the ability to offer you the best possible price on your next getaway.
