Why book online when you can get the same price when that same price is available by using a trusted Agent who can get you the same price through a number of major Tour Operators and a price match when we can’t? Book through us and you'll get years of experience advising you on the best places to book, primarily via customer feedback but also first hand experience.

But the best bit - once you've decided where you want to go, we've got your back......... at no extra cost!

We stand by our mantra: "Good Old Fashioned Service with Internet Prices"!

Call us on 01234 865599 or message us - we'd love to hear from you.

A very Happy Xmas to all of our customers.

Don't forget "peak" booking season is just a few days away - don't forget the busier it gets and the more bookings made, the prices will rise!

Always here to help.....

A New Year is just around the corner and in Travel that means just one thing: "Peaks" (peak booking month) is a few weeks away.
January is traditionally the month when most people book their holidays - but as soon as holidays are sold, the prices increase.

What may have looked a good price at the beginning of January, may not look as good the following month.

Sales are currently on as December is a traditionally quiet month, but it's also a great time to bag a bargain - with low deposits available, it's a great time to book to "beat the rush"

If you have to wait until January, make sure you are one of the first in the queue - we're always here to help, message or call 01234 865599 for your internet prices with good old fashioned personal service!

It’s time for another Hotel visit (aka Holiday) so between Thurs 8th Aug and Tues 20th Aug I’ll be in the Dominican Republic.

I’ll still be available and working, but due to the time difference and travelling time, my Office Hours will be reduced as follows:

Thurs 8th Aug – Unavailable
Fri 9th Aug – Unavailable
Sat 10th Aug to Tues 20th Aug – 1pm to 6pm (UK time)
Weds 21st Aug – Normal Hours (24/7!)

I’ll be contactable via Whatsapp and will be picking up emails. I will also be picking up messages and making calls from my 01234 865599 Office Number, but my mobile won’t be available for taking calls or picking up messages (have you seen the cost!)

If you have an urgent query that can’t wait, please contact our Head Office on 0800 5300 621. If you are away on holiday and need urgent assistance, please contact the Tour Operators Emergency Number that will be on your holiday documentation.

WOW!!

Business Class to the Maldives? Business Class flying on Etihad?

You may think it's very expensive..........however if you don't mind a bit of faffing around, I've got these flights from £1k per person, return!

Yep, there's a catch, it's flying from Dublin and it's selected dates between September and November this year.

Economy seats are roughly that sort of price from London Airports 😲

Deal with and speak with a Travel Agent - it's the safest way to book......

The online travel firm says generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, are driving the explosive rise.

We posted this image a while ago and in the last couple of hours, a customer had a situation where he was glad of the service!

Customer is the other side of the world, due to fly back on Thursday, however just before 6pm his airline cancelled the flight - their only option was to rebook on their flight 24hrs later the following day. As the customer had booked a Package through a trusted Operator, we were able to contact the customer on WhatApp and offer an alternative flight flying back on Thursday with another airline at no extra cost - an option he was very grateful to accept.

The moral here is that if the customer had booked his flights independently his options would have been either to accept the 24hr delay or fund alternative flights with another airline at his own cost with all the hassle of organising same on his own.

All sorted within an hour via WhatsApp!

Spotlight on Beachcomber Shandrani, Mauritius!

We’ve recently returned from a fabulous 10nt stay at this very spacious hotel. Based very close to the Airport, the Resort is set in 70 acres and has 376 rooms – that’s a lot of space and it never felt busy. The majority of the Resort is based around a large lagoon with 2 different beaches. There is also a beach that sits straight onto the ocean.

The Resort has two main areas: one with reception, pool, buffet restaurant and one beach at the top end of the resort, with a further restaurant (Sirius) and pool at the bottom end of the resort close to the beach that sits straight onto the ocean, but also on one of the lagoon beaches.

The All Inclusive package is very generous, included branded drinks and a la carte restaurants with no restrictions on how many times you use them (subject to availability) plus you can upgrade to their “Plus” All Inclusive for a better range of branded drinks and inclusions.

There are 4 a la carte restaurants as part of the standard All Inclusive: Sirius (Mauritian) Ponte Vecchio (Italian) Teak Elephant (Thai) and Ephemera (Indian) You can also dine at Le Boucanier (Seafood Gourmet) at a supplement, but one visit is included as part of the All Inclusive Plus Plan.

We had a very enjoyable stay, service was impeccable and as there is so much room, it feels smaller than it actually is and there were no morning sunbed wars! Deluxe Rooms are 60m2 and set closer to the quieter Sirius end of the resort, plus all rooms have Sea Views.

Highly recommended and not as expensive as you might think ;-)

As most of our customer's will know, the advantage of us just being a WhatsApp away can be invaluable while you are away, but also when planning your next holiday!

Also don't forget we can also do Cruise and have great relationships with all the major Cruise Companies - for some reason Fjords cruising is very popular recently and in general, Cruises are selling out quicker than they've ever done before.

A brief selection of our latest offers are below - don't forget we get access to pricing that you can't find online. Whether it's a Beach Holiday, a Long Haul trip, multi destinations or something completely out of the ordinary, we are here to help.

Why use a Travel Agent – well there are loads of reasons and it’s not always about price!

When talking to people, many people say things like “I didn’t want to bother you” (please bother us, it’s our job!) and “I thought all the best prices are online” (possibly but not always and we get access to the same prices as online companies)

What you do get from a Travel Agent is expert advice – we have a wealth of experience and ensure we sell the right holiday for you – it’s not in our interest to sell you something that you may not like!

We also accept that we don’t have any divine right to be the cheapest on everything, that’s just the way of the world, but if you don’t ask, you’ll never find out.

We very much promote being there every step of the way, booking with us isn’t the end of it – you can get us on WhatsApp (and other platforms) whenever it suits you – this is more than handy if you are abroad – if you have wifi, there’s no expensive calls to make (and waiting on hold!) and we’ll respond as soon as we can – we’ve responded to calls at 5am in the morning where customers didn’t take their paperwork when asked to produce at Hotel Check In – all sorted in 10 mins!

Give us a try - you might be surprised....

Sometimes we see an offer and we just have to post it!

We've all become accustomed to Free Child Places for our short haul summer holiday destinations, but with prices rising, even for places like Greece and Turkey, we all assume that the Maldives would be out of budget for a family in the Summer......

BUT......a resort in the MALDIVES, is offering FREE CHILD PLACES!!

For children under the age of 14, you just pay for their flight, plus it's 5*, accommodation in a Deluxe Beach Villa including All Inclusive Dine Around and Free Seaplane Transfers!!

Prices FROM £8.5k for 7nts and £10.5k for 10nts based on a family of 4 where the children are aged 11 & 13.

The above prices are based on departures from Heathrow connecting in Abu Dhabi on the 2nd August 2024. Other departure airports and dates are available at a supplement in cost.

And......secure your holiday for £99pp deposit.

Pricing is always subject to availability - with this offer, it may not last long.......
