A question about : Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

What's this about?

This is a special thread where you can ask all the Travel Agents and MoneySavers who frequent this board to beat a holiday quote you have and get personalised replies.

The idea is to see if someone can beat a quote for a specific holiday; not just a general price. So you need an exact quote. E.g.

A question about : 3 night break in Sorrento

Hi there have finally booked for early May and can't wait after finding flights for under Ј100. Would like a hotel, b and b or apartment near the centre but with seaview if possible. Can anyone recommend anywhere from personal experience - up to about Ј100 per night for double.

A question about : Interrailing around Europe

Hi guys,

I am going interrailing this summer for a month.

Italy is one of my stops.

I want to visit the main cities, Venice, Rome and Florence.

I dont know how long I will need to spend at each city?

Will I need to book a hostel up in each city?

So spend 2 days in Milan, stay 2 nights there, then a train to Venice, 2 days there & stay 2 nights there

Then a train down to Florence, 2 days in Florence, stay 2 nights there.

Then a train to Rome. 2 days there and 2 nights?

A question about : flights to Brazil

I have been looking at booking flights to Rio in November 2015. Because of my back and knee I want to fly business

BA charge is Ј2,438 return from Heathrow

TAP via Lisbon looks the cheapest. I then entered into Skyscanner Lisbon to Rio. The cheapest response was with BA via Heathrow. It was a total of 2,079 euro. This converts to Ј1,574.

Amazing, but confused

Do you think there would be any problem if I booked this but I did not use the Lisbon-London London-Lisbon leg

A question about : Travel Agent Code Of Conduct

Travel Agent Code of Conduct

Many travel agents and advisers use this forum and voluntarily give up their time to help other MoneySavers. However as these are professional people who make their living out of deals; to ensure there's no conflict of interest, I've drawn up the following Code of Conduct for agents posting.

A question about : Antalya 1 to 11 Feb 2015 (Brief JBR)

Just returned from an enjoyable Thomas Cook AI package to the WOW Kremlin Palace at Lara Beach.

Weather: At his time of year you can expect just about anything, and the mountains to the west of Antalya were covered in snow - a glorious back-drop.
