Driveline / AA Getaways / Great Getaways - real or fake?

Hello all,

I've attempted to book one of their rather attractive 3-night deals for Paris by Eurostar. There's a number of different web "front"s for Driveline, including AA Getaways, which is the web front-end I was using.

The website allowed me to select a hotel and travel times and took some personal details before failing to complete and just showing a page with a message

"This break may be available to quote or book through our reservation helpline:
Please make a note of your holiday details and call one of our reservation agents"

On attempting to call on the telephone number given, the line cuts off after being on hold for less than one and a half minutes. I retried both the web site and the telephone number several times (annoying as a 10p per minute 0871 line).


Has anybody successfully booked one of these weekends recently or is this just advertising of non-existent holidays?

Cheers,
Rob
