COMPLAINTS
Thankfully
these are rare; however in the very unlikely event of
anything not running to plan whilst on holiday, or you
are dissatisfied with any aspect of it, you must report
the fact locally to your hotel or your operators local
representatives or suppliers.
In
our experience most things can be resolved whilst you
are on holiday to prevent your holiday being spoilt.
If your hotel can't fix the issue for you, you should
contact the operator's staff or follow the instructions
in your travel documents to give the operator the opportunity
to resolve it for you.
If
you can't reach the local agents / representatives,or
things are still not satisfactory to you; call us or
contact us here in the UK. We'd rather help put things
right if we can while you are on holiday, rather than
when its too late after your holiday!
Any
complaints in respect of the travel product specified
must be made in writing within 28 days of the end of
the holiday or journey concerned. It is unreasonable
to take no action whilst on holiday and then complain
on your return.
As retail agents for our various suppliers we will pass
your comments to them and forward to you their written
response. As a guide a full response to any complaint
should be given to you from the supplier within 28 days
of them receiving your complaint.
