Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

minority

Hey,

I am looking to bok my Florida holiday I was suppose to go on last year (my gf dislocated her knee day before and we just got the claim back).

travel republic have given me my best deal yet of £1,629.37 for 2 flying from Glasgow (any scotland airport will do) to Sanford on Globespan and staying at this hotel http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Rev...o_Florida.html . We were meant to go this year but gf dislocated her knee day before so we had to cancel and rebook(now) we orignally wanted to stay at the Hampton Pointe inn and still would but it coming up that there no rooms and this was our first choice.

We will take other hotels into account and we are looking in the international drive area.

If you need anymore help please let me know, lets see if you can beat my quote also if we book each part seperatly via credit card if one company goes busted does the card cover the whole holiday or do we have to quickly find alternative plans to get there and or stay there?

Hi,
Im trying to book Orlando for Oct 2009, I have been quoted by Thomson's £2741 from Manchester to Sanford, Florida for 21 nights from 8 - 29 October 2009 for 2 adults and 2 kids (aged 10 & 8) room only at the Quality Inn International on International Drive.
I also wanted to know if theres a place to buy discounted ONE PASS for the Florida attractions - these are close to £1000 but the TA who quoted me thought I would be able to find them cheaper on the net but I cant!!

I will respond to any Pm's and although I want to book fairly soon, I would rather see if I can get the best deal first.
Thanks in advance

Do a search through the Orlando and Disney sticky thread.

Well, I woudn't disparage them. At least people are trying to beat your price, actually taking their time to see if they can save you money.

It shows that you have the cheapest price, well done, go ahead and book it, and mark your quote as Booked.

Make sure you check their ATOL btw.

ALSO travel agents ill be pricing these deals up on viewdata and thier own in house systems, offering thier own discounts from these places.
Thomascook.com have thier own discounts which arent available to travel agents....therefore like Moonchild says making the quote you originally found cheapest.
People are only trying to help.
