An independent desk for travel bookings.

Xinzhuan8 reviews the tools people use to book trips. Zhuǎn (转) is the Mandarin word for a transfer — and every journey is a chain of them.

Why travel bookings

A trip is rarely one purchase. A flight, a rail connection, a transfer, a hotel and a ticket for a day out are often bought from different sites, each with its own fees and rules. Xinzhuan8 looks at those booking channels, so you can see who you are really buying from and who helps when plans change.

What we cover

We review airline and operator sites, online travel agencies, metasearch tools, rail and coach retailers, car hire brokers, airport parking and transfer services, hotel platforms, ferry and cruise booking sites, and attraction ticket sellers. We do not review destinations, and we do not sell travel.

How to read our reviews

Each review says what we checked and when. We separate information published by a booking site from what we observed while searching, booking, changing or cancelling. Fares, fees and policies change often, so always confirm the current terms before you pay.
