We are very excited to announce the launch of our new Concierge Service, giving you a VIP experience throughout your holiday journey.

What does this mean for you?

The experience you want and deserve. We take care of everything, ensuring that your travel plans go without a hitch.

Once you've made your booking, your very own concierge team begins to work their magic. They will introduce themselves and ensure you have their number saved in your phone.

Think of it like having your very own travel butler, always available to help, support and do everything to get you away on your travels.

About the only thing we can't do is your packing...sorry!

Your Concierge team will get to know you, your likes, dislikes and what gets you excited about travel. They will learn how you like to receive information, how quick or slow you enjoy life and what they can pre-arrange for you on your travels.

They will ensure you've got your tickets, you're checked-in, your API's are submitted, and they will make sure the whole process could not be easier.

Why book it any other way, when you can enjoy VIP Concierge as standard when you book with Not Just Travel - Let’s Go!

Nobody likes talking about it but travel insurance has always been important for your holiday but even more now especially with COVID. Our insurer was one of the first if not the first to introduce COVID cover on its policies meaning you are covered before you go and when you are away on holiday.

To date and it is very rare we have had to use that part of the policy 6 times helping clients with a total of just under 70k worth of holidays.

Please always make sure your insurance has the correct cover and covers you for the value of your holiday, it can always be topped up, one of our claims was nearly 30k!!!

Another claim was someone who thought their bank covered them thankfully we nagged them to check, it didn’t they could of lost over 9k

Every year we have to pass exams to carry on being authorised to promote and sell insurance, the good news is we do this every year for you so we can get you covered.

If you want more details please just drop us a message or give us a call on 01297 441355

Two years ago today the government closed our skies and all holidays were off, furlough was a word we Googled and for us we starting using words like refund and rebook as everything was closed down.

Tour operators were furloughing staff and refund departments pretty much didn’t exist so quickly mindsets had to change to save our industry and cope with what was about to come.

We quickly found out who were the good guys and who we thought were good but actually wasn’t when we needed to help clients ASAP. Needless to say it’s only the good guys we use now…

We managed to just about get everyone home whilst dealing with clients who hadn’t booked with us but had booked online with little or no help available.

It was the rise of the personal consultants like us that was there night and day to help everyone out and today we are still proud that everyone due a refund got one and still can’t thank everyone enough for keep moving their holiday as we didn’t know when we could get away again.

In these two years we are proud to of been out there for you, we are now one of the top franchises out of nearly 800 and have kept our door open all the time for everyone and will continue to do so.

The desperation to go away was always there and last night we looked to see how many actual bookings we have that haven’t been cancelled which have gone when limited countries opened or will be going this or next year.

We were amazed that it was 328 holidays with 1072 passengers and around 1.2 million pounds worth of holiday. Absolutely amazing considering half of the world was still closed and is still only opening now.

So as usual we are here for you every day till 10pm, if you have used us we really appreciate it and if you haven’t yet then please just a ring we would love to help.
