Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread
What’s this about? This is a special thread where you can ask all the Travel Agents and MoneySavers who frequent this board to beat a holiday quote you have and get personalised replies. The idea is to see if someone can beat a quote for a specific holiday; not just a general price. So you need an exact quote. E.g. "I've…

Travel pillows
I've only used a travel pillow, just a cheap u-shaped one, once and disliked it. In a few months I'm taking a long-haul flight after a cruise. I can't select my seat so will probably end up in a middle seat. I'm wondering if a travel pillow would be helpful. According to a Which? review the Trtl was the best buy. They are…

Child becoming adult between taking out travel insurance policy and actual date of holiday
We've booked a holiday for next year and I'm sorting out travel insurance ASAB as Martin recommends.

Baggage left behind
I’ve been lucky to have countless overseas holidays over the years, predominantly problem free. However twice in the last 18 months I’ve had suitcases deliberately and knowingly left by airlines, just so that they could depart within their time slot. The compensation payable for delayed baggage is much less ( or not at…

Annual policy- start date?
I know Martin's advice is to buy insurance as soon as you book - but if buying an annual policy, what does the start date need to be? If it's the first day of travel would I be covered if there was an issue before hand that would cause the trip to be cancelled etc?

Buying a package holiday through Inteletravel
Has anyone ever booked a package today through Inteletravel? How was your experience? I know they are MLM and I've seen negative comments about working for them but I'm assuming that this wouldn't be an issue for its customers? I can't find much information on customers who've used this company to book. Thanks in advance

Hi, does anyone know a way of seeing where your avios points will take you on flights with the British Airways Club? Before it moved over to the BA Club you used to be able to go on a map and it would calculate where you could go with your points.
