About Mainline Travel

Welcome to Mainline Travel! We're an ABTA-registered independent travel agent based in Nottinghamshire.

We pride ourselves on offering a truly personal service whilst doing our best to ensure your holiday offers the best value for money. Whether you're looking for a tropical beach holiday destination; a guided tour; wedding anniversary holiday ideas; escorted group travel; a personalised holiday — or something else — we're happy to do all the hard work for you and find you the holiday of a lifetime.

Your personal travel agent

We're a close-knit team of four, and between us we have over 100 years' experience in travelling around the world. Unlike most travel agents, we are completely independent and can match our clients' needs to the best holiday and tour operator for them. Book with us and you'll have a dedicated consultant who will see you through from enquiry to the day you travel.

We can help you decide where to go on holiday and, as a member of Advantage Travel Centres, we're able to provide competitively priced travel options, whilst offering completely impartial advice. Plus, booking your holiday with us means you can book with confidence as we're an ABTA member and all our holidays are ATOL protected.

We’re happy to have a chat about your dream holiday over the phone or via email, so get in touch today!

History

Mainline Travel first opened its doors in Gedling in 1979.

Ian Forecast and his wife Vicki took over the business in 1994. We have two other highly experienced travel consultants, all of whom have travelled substantially and are experts in worldwide travel. Vanessa Clifford joined us in 1997; and Karen Beck has been with us for more than 20 years. You can find out more about each of our team members, and their relevant travel experience, on our meet the team page.

For many years now, we have been running escorted group travel tours, led by tour escort, John Dawn. He is well known in the area and escorts 2 or 3 trips every year which always start and finish in Gedling.

With a wide range of travel knowledge between us all, one of our aims is to match any enquiry with the most relevant experienced travel consultant, which means you will receive expert advice from that moment until the day you travel. If you require any help or advice, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us!
