in response casevlloys

the quote was from Virgin Holidays via phone. It is for my honeymoon so there was a bride discount, and also a free room upgrade. I have the Virgin black card so I get a further 10% off their offer but can't be used fully on other offers so it only reduced the cost by about £70. And your correct its all inclusive.

My priority would be to travel on Virgin as I would get a lot of airmiles but if there is a bigger saving or business class flights etc then I would change, thanks

Are the agents (and others!) checking this board lately actually getting any response from the people they're helping out?

People have been generally pretty good of late but in the last couple of days I have PM'd 5 people - all of which have come on here asking for our help!

1 I saved £65 off their quote, 1 £40, 1 £267, 1 £404 and 1 £410.00

Not one of these 5 people has responded to me. Despite the fact I have looked at their profiles and 4 of the 5 have been active on the site since I messaged them.

Sorry for the rant! Annoys me sometimes! I know this is a moneysaving site and my prices might not necessarily be the cheapest they get offered but good manners cost nothing and a simple acknowledgement of taking the time to try and help people wouldn't go amiss sometimes!

I know how you feel, I have had some responses but no bookers on which I have done very hefty discounts, I just thought i would try it for a short while to see if there was any point in continuing- not convinced at the moment thought I must admit!
