Recent events with the wildfires have highlighted the benefits of using a travel agent has in a crisis. The news is full of stranded passengers waiting for news from their tour operator, online travel agent or embassy and getting nowhere. Phone calls are held in long queues and the danger of being disconnected is a constant threat.
We have an emergency phone number for customers stranded or in urgent need of help. During the recent crisis, customers called and we arranged transport, extended kennel stays, changed airport transfer pickups and helped extend airport parking stays. It’s part of our service and one that we would expect from a travel agent if we needed a friendly voice and helping hand.
We always advise customers that if they go it alone, make sure they book the whole package at the same time, have adequate insurance cover and have made provisions in the event of being stranded. Summer is a time for strikes in Europe, we monitor the situations months in advance so that we are ahead of the curve and can supply the best information at the time of booking.
Travel disruption can happen at anytime, whether it’s a strike, weather, wildfires or other substantial event you can be caught out and stranded. The cost of getting home can run into thousands of pounds and if you don’t have the money, sleeping rough can be very dangerous as well as uncomfortable.
We hope all those affected get home safely and though people that live on the island are safe and don’t suffer.
