Hi holiday seekers,

It would be really nice if posters could reply to people that send you quotes.
I have sent quite a few PMs to people on here, with prices better than they have stated but have not had a response back.
As it has been said before us travel agents spend a great amount of time trying to beat your quotes only to hear nothing back in return !
Even if you just update or write another post stating that you have now booked and what sort of price you got in the end. It only take a minute to post or PM back.

Dont like to moan but it would be nice to be acknowledged for the effort put into these quotes.

I have had it pointed out to me that i needed to have the Travel agent code in my signature.
I have now updated my signature, that may explain why i had no response to quotes i gave to people.
Thanks for pointing that out to me guys !!

I think that's only half the reason, not even that. Quite simply a lot of people are rude, and won't even thank you for the time you've spent on them. If I was you I would avoid bothering with anyone with less than several hundred posts.Or potentially not bother at all if you've other things to do.

• The Quote itself: £1880
• Flying from Birmingham (BHX)
• Who the quote is from: Thomson
• The Holiday Dates: FEB 2009, 14 nights
• The number of people travelling : 2 adults for the above quote (though will be minimum of 14 ppl going-if this makes the quote cheaper?))
• The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Holiday Inn, Goa
• The Board (self catering/half board etc): Bed and Breakfast
• Any specific requirements: dates aren't specific, though we'd prefer to be at the resort on the 16th for an anniversary.
• Is an in-flight meal included: yes
  • Is there a booking fee: No

I know this is a request that's 12months in advance, but because of the size of the party going and the popularity of the resort, we need early confirmation. There will be a minimum of 14 adults wishing to go and although it's been left to individual booking, we would all prefer to fly out together. Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated.
