Hi to all,

Thank you

    I would make a post in the sticky "Beat my quote" with you package details and see if anyone can help you find it for a better price ;)

    Pay by credit card so you have some protection, but you will almost certainly receive exactly what you agree to buy. However, if you want to change even the tiniest detail, or require any kind of support, additional information or basic customer service, well, you will be in trouble.

    Personally I would use another agent (or buy directly) because I find that customer service is useful at times.

    i used lastminute in 2007 for a very expensive journey into new york costing just over £5K WITH NO PROBLEMS think quidco or similar can be used. Was for us the cheapest option we could find and so long as all info is declared at the time of boking you will be cheaper than TA but can get better if you shop around to even less secure options
    :cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:

    I used them for a hotel booking last year. No problem.
    They are part of Travelocity

    No problem whatsoever with the last holiday we booked with them- deifnately get your CB fro quidco think its 3%
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • I certainly wouldn't trust them. They left us stranded in Stavanger with no hotel room booked after we paid for it !!

    Go to the travel agents first before you book and see if they can match your price
    £100 - £10,000
