Gwalia Murphy at Hays Travel

09/08/2024

Due to ongoing illness and prolonged recovery I am saddened to temporarily close my business.

I will contact all existing bookings but in the instance that I miss anyone - can any queries related to existing booking please contact Hays Customer Service on 0333 0339985.

I will not be able to access any bookings going forward until further notice.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused, I had hoped to be well enough to be back working full time by now, but unfortunately this is not the case.

Gwalia.

Advice direct from Birmingham Airport
The new government directive means passengers can only carry liquids, pastes and gels up to 100ml in their hand luggage. It is imperative that all customers comply with the nationwide rule to ensure a smoother and simpler transition through the airport.

If you are due to travel from Manchester Airport Terminals
1&2 within the next 24 hours please follow the guidelines below
You will also find guidance for Terminal 3 who should arrive at the airport as normal unless advised otherwise by their airline directly.

⚠️KEY PASSENGER INFORMATION⚠️

The Government has implemented a restriction on liquids carried by passengers in their hand luggage, effective from midnight on Saturday 8 June.

Passengers are advised to pack all non-essential liquids in their hold baggage.

Any liquids, gels or creams being carried in hand luggage MUST be in containers of up to 100ml and placed in a bag.

We are working with our airline partners to keep disruption to a minimum

Airport security U-turn on liquids.
Six UK airports with "next generation" scanners which were meant to end the 100ml limit have been told to revert to the old rules:
London City
Newcastle
Leeds/Bradford
Aberdeen
Southend
Teesside

Once more information is found out I will pass this on.

06/06/2024

Birmingham Airport is one of the first UK airports to meet the 1st June Government deadline for the implementation of new security screening standards for passenger and cabin baggage. However, certain liquid restrictions will remain in place.

In due course this new equipment will allow liquids of up to two litres to be taken through in cabin baggage, however some restrictions temporarily remain in place. Until further notice, passengers are advised that they can only carry liquids up to 100ml, albeit it can stay in hand luggage and no longer needs to be in a plastic bag, when departing from Birmingham Airport.

I am still on-board P&O's beautiful Iona enjoying our last few days of honeymoon but next week I plan to open for a few hours each day.
If you are looking for your next getaway to the sun or maybe an adventure to the Northern Lights then make sure you drop me a message - my reviews Speak for themselves ✅️

I really am grateful for my customers patience whilst I have been unexpectedly taken ill these past few months- I am only making a slow gradual return but I will always ensure myself or a Hays Customer Service alternative is available throughout each booking.

Any enquiries received prior to Monday will be responded to in the order received once I start work.
Many thanks!

I became a Murphy 2 days ago!

I just wanted to write a short update for my customers as it is only fair.

Following on from my emergency heart surgery in August I have been advised by my heart surgeon not to work for the next 12 months.
I do however still have bills to pay and I think I would go potty without a little bit of travel in my life!

If you are looking at specific holiday or cruise please send me a message I will always see what I can do and service the booking as I normally would for you.
* I am currently unable to offer home visits due to medical reasons sorry

Please remember to check my prices before you book anywhere else even direct!
Remember the Internet is looking, Agents are for Booking!

I do however get married on 28th December and go on honeymoon 2 days later.
I will be back available from Tuesday 16th January 2024.

With my health taken the rapid decline that it has over the past couple of months my response times will not be what previous customers are used to so I do ask you to remain patient with me please.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas & a Happy New Year & again I cannot thank you all for your custom & patience this year.

I am wishing for a happy, Healthy 2024!
