Thanks Travelman - Highly Recommended

Options
Hi All,

Just a quick note to publicly thank Chris (Travelman) for his excellent service.

Yesterday morning contacted Chris direct by e-mail with the holiday request criteria as per the thread below.

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=26744&page=1&pp=10

I got a call back within about 5mins to clarify my request and the range of things we were looking at. Went through a few options during the day - made choice and confirmed booking in the evening.

Got a great price for 2 adults & 2 kids to Marmaris from our local airport, with private transfers.

I will be personnally recommending to my friends.

All the best.
Simon

    I thought Travelman had disappeared, I booked a trip in April to Mexico and it was great he did a wonderful job for us, but as I said I thought he was nowhere to be seen nowadays,

    So is he back ?
    something missing
  • he is very much alive but is a very busy man!

    ( edit this was posted, as another user posted a different website, now appears deleted)

    Chris's website is http://www.traveltomorrow.co.uk/

    I assume they all work on some self employed / home working arrangement and have their own website

    He gave me very helpful advice although was not able to match a package I had got myself ( using greasy palm for a big cashback on hotel booking)

    Suppose its a bit like my game ( mortgages) - the deals out there are all the same, its what the person you deal with does with them

    He did exactly the same on Holiday Truths ,caused a righ nuisance of himself and he was banned.
    I did question him about this but he denied it,but then he would.

  • Thanks for your kind words.

    I am still around but have been busy with marketing & lots of other stuff. Now now we're out of the 'silly season' I have a bit of time to breathe!

    I have not had much time over the Summer but no it is a bit quieter I hope to post some usefull stuff.

    If any of you have not seen some of my posts have a look back at the (rather long!) post regarding 'packaging' & the benefits of making sure the booking is ATOL bonded (look at the fiasco with EUJET at manston-if this was part of an ATOL package it'd be the Agent who had to sort it out!) Interesting reading....as now 'dynamic packaging' is very much a way of life with Independant Agents.

    Certainly the way Hotels & rooms are sold is changing, with many Tour Op's selling accom only at vastly reduced prices (beating in many cases the internet) if it is their own committed stack-this is a new practice & further drives down the cost of 'dynamic packaging' for the consumer.

    Oh...for the record I've not a clue what sloppychops is on about & I've never said all MSE'RS are wasters....think that might have been taken a bit out of context. Certainly not worth starting a 'flame' thread (is that the word??!).

    As a matter of fact I've just helped another MSE'R, Clare with her holidays.

    Anything I see of interest to MSER'S I'll try to post. E-mail is sometimes the quickest way to reach me.
