We have just had some lovely feedback from a happy customer......

Jenny Martin-Jeffery recommends Braunton Travel.
What an absolutely fantastic holiday we have just had to Greece.
Travelling with a 1 Yr old and a 6 Yr old can be stressful. But, Sue and the Team made every step of the way as easy as can be. She found us the perfect hotel, from the instructions I gave and a great price. All checkin's, tickets, luggage info etc taken care of, so we literally just had to get to the airport and everything was sorted. We will 100% be using Braunton Travel again in the future and recommend their services to everyone. Thank you for a perfect, stress free week

According to the airline, “The new inter-island services are set to provide both international and local customers more opportunities to explore the Caribbean and each island’s unique personality. With an increased customer demand for experience-rich breaks, Virgin Atlantic Holidays will provide complete packages incorporating easy booking, preferred itineraries and seamless connections between the islands, each with the same premium Virgin Atlantic service they enjoy on transatlantic flights.”

“This will also be complemented by an increase in flights to St Vincent and the Grenadines, which will operate thrice weekly this winter, reaffirming the post-pandemic demand for premium, sunny getaways.”
