Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

smudgemanc26

I didnt get a response either i think this board needs flagging up to the travel agents etc as u wouldnt really know it was here if your not a regular on MSE.

It was a good idea but theres no point posting if no one is ever gonna see them or reply.

Can the board guides or Martin flag this up to the holiday industry in some way? So posters can get a reply.
