Replies from agents are sent as PMs so you won't see any messages online here.

I am a Travel Agent

I work for Diamond Travel, a member of the Global Travel Group of Companies. My companies ATOL/ABTA numbers are S0466/3973. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Travel Agent, so you need to take my word for it but Atol numbers can be checked on the Civil Aviation Authority website. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Travel Agent Code of Conduct.

If you read the terms of this thread you will see that Travel Agents are asked to respond via PM.

Edited: Diamond Olly beat me to it!

PS: I can only hope that anyone else that tries to help people get more thanks than I do - no wonder people don't want to bother half the time.

Holiday Travel Dates: We are free from 28 June 08 - 13 July 08
Duration of holiday 14 nights preferably but can also do 10-14 nights
Number of people travelling 2 adults

This is our last holiday for the next couple of years as we need to save, so we want to make it a good one but obviously on a budget! Thank you ever so much to anyone who can help us! :-)
