Hi new to the group,
I have been quoted £2,775 for direct flights from Dublin to Dubai 6 nights with superior room, B&B …The company is “Away Travel”. This is a lot cheaper than NI travel agency! Would appreciate if anybody has any views etc

My view is that with travel and holidays, you tend to get what you pay for, so would be suspicious of any company that significantly undercuts its obvious competitors. Research them thoroughly, including the small print, third party review sites, membership of trade associations, payment methods, etc, before committing....UMAC said:Hi new to the group,

Indeed, Away Travel is an American luggage company, but OP presumably means https://www.awayholidays.co.uk/born_again said:Funny but that company quoted does not come up as a travel co on google.1 -
Without full details of flight times, actual hotel etc it's difficult to know if direct comparisons are being done. Does 'Away Travel' put together its own packages or are they using one of the major operators and reducing their own profit margin to obtain business?
