Has it all changed ?
Hello everyone,
Some of the old timers still on here I see.
I went to book some flights back to the UK yesterday and have tried several places to book, pay a deposit and balance 6 weeks before.
No, not one ticket with any airline will let you do it !!!! When I asked the Scottish lassie why this was the case, she said too many travel agents where holding flights for people that simply didn't go so they won't so it anymore.
I know 8 years ago when we moved out I booked through trailerfinders paid my deposit and balance before. Although I was told trailfinders had shut down here.
Anyone had similar or knows of a way to do the above
