    HRG want an extra 47.63 per flight booked, as their booking fee (ontop of the normal ticket price. Unfortunately this is a lot more than I can afford. Can anyone recommend anyone else?

    Thanks.

    You're basically looking for someone to do a hell of a lot of hard work, yet seemingly unprepared to pay them. You also don't want to pay for flexibility.

    From what you have posted, you will only save money if you collate all the information, names as per passports, dates and times, and forward them on to a company with the understanding you want the cheapest flights which will be non-flexible and non-refundable, and if any of your party change their plans accept that as a cost and realise you will have to buy them a new ticket.

    I would recommend you do it yourself.

    Is that £47.63 per passenger, if so I am sure you will find a volunteer to do the leg work for you ar £45.00 per passenger - £3375 :beer:

    But that £45 will ensure full flexibility in your flight plans, name changes, flight changes etc etc. It's actually a small fee given the money you may save if you need to make changes.

    sounds like I work for them, but I'm just someone who has benefitted from their services before.
