Stag booking

Proving to be a nightmare booking online for 11 people (most only allow 9 at a time.) Phone bookings leave you on hold for ages too.


Has anybody got any tips?

    And book as 4 and 5. Ensure there are enough rooms/seat available prior to booking.

    Stay in this country.



    If you do want to go abroad

    1 Get the money up front

    2 Make sure everyone takes out travel insurance straight away

    3 Behave on the flight
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    or get the people to book in groups of 2 or 3 and get them to book the room themselves - so the fall out is only between 2 or 3 people

    Just make two separate bookings. Another tip: Make sure you get names of all passengers *as it is written in their passport*.

    Many years ago when checking in for a flight with some friends, one of them said to me in a shocked voice "eh, but that's not your name!". Well, it was, and still is - the fact you only ever knew me by a nickname...
