Any problems with Teletext holidays?

kayl

I have only booked a package holiday twice, both times with Direct Holidays, and am at the stage of wondering whether I can go again next year.

I happened to get an email from teletext holidays, so looked at their website out of interest. I was amazed to see how cheap their holidays are 2 weeks allinclusive in Greece, Turkey, Egypt in a 4 star hotel for between £650 and £750, wil loads to choose from.

Is there a problem with them that I don't know about? Has anyone he used them, and if so would they recommend them?

many people report that when they all to book the price is higher that the advertised price, baggage to pay, checkin etc.
Also worth checking the reviews for the hotels, cheap AI can be a false economy if the food is so bad you need to pay to eat elsewhere

I agree with Caz. Last year I booked 2 weeks AI for 2 people to Madeira with Teletext. The price was showing as £221pp, we paid £675 for both of us for everything, most people on that holiday paid £1000 each with Tom Cook or Thompson. Always check the hotels out on Tripadvisor. I didn't expect much for the price but it was one of the best holidays & hotels that I've ever stayed at. Luck of the draw I guess.

Have tried to book a holiday to Malta with them. Everytime you call the price has gone up? then a couple of hours later it goes back down, when you call it has gone back up again. When I contacted the MD (Daniel Taylor) about this he blamed it on the supplier? But who updates the live prices? Are we to believe that it is the supplier? Also he said they make no money on the holiday sold. No but they get paid by the supplier to use there website? So as long as they get paid they are happy to treat anyone using there website as fair game.

Shame on you Daniel Taylor you have no morals

None of the holidays exist at the advertised price, they are all advertised at net cost or below, just to draw you in, and obviously the sales agent has to make some commission. Same as Icelolly.
