About Tix
Tix (tix.nl) is a Dutch online travel agency founded in 2010 and based in Breda, operated by Tix Travel Group, which also runs Vliegtickets.nl, WTC.nl, and Gate1.nl. The platform focuses on finding cheap flights across a broad range of carriers, with hotel bookings, car rental, and activity tickets available in the same interface. All pricing is in Euros, and the site is built primarily for Dutch-speaking travelers in the Netherlands, with sister platforms for Belgium (tix.be) and France (tix.fr). Bookings are delivered digitally: e-tickets and confirmations arrive by email, typically within minutes of payment. The flight search tool includes airline punctuality data, CO2 offset options, and alternative nearby airports. Car rental through Tix requires a valid credit card at pick-up; hotel bookings may also require a card at the property for incidentals or local city taxes. Tix focuses on independent travel rather than packaged holidays, which are handled by the related site Vliegreizen.nl.
