There is a CTA special offer that has just come out on no refundable and non changeable fares - in the UK you can only sell these as an ATOL holder and any ATOL holder offering these would need to add an ATOL surcharge as well as booking fees as the profit will be too low to cover your seats.



The other problem is that they have to be paid to CTA same day so you will find that agents will want to process these bookings first thing in the day for you or they can't hold the deals.

thanks tom, just as i thought.



we booked ours yesterday with pegasus as cta was far too expensive.

the initial price they offer sounds ok, until they put bucket loads of surcharges on top.

I think I will stick with Tom if I need to make any travel arrangements, he has been around here for ages and a great person to deal with, I am sure if there are deals to be had he will be aware of them.

Thanks for the info semtcm, but I see you just joined yesterday, are you a travel agent?

Also is it true that THY have stopped doing the Istanbul Ercan flights?

Pipie:

Not a problem for me, I have had dealings with Tom before and would be happy to use his services when the time comes. He has been around a while.

He helped me out with info , even when I wasn't using his services.

Hi, İ've been employed by Polatkan tourism , to raise his profile with expats here and with the brits ın the uk. although he is one of the longest standing travel agents here he hasn't quıte got up to speed wıth websıtes and thıngs yet. so ıf you want to meet me ı am ın the polatkan office near the pıa bella round about mon - sat, unless i'm out touting for business! ring me first - libby 0533 8458279 - I totally agree with the other postings about tom. hıs ınfo ıs very useful, i hope we too can help with any travel inquiries.

Firstly I must appologiose to anyone who tried to conact us at IAH in the last 48 hours we sufferd a serios broadband / internet problem that BT have been very helpful and fast in remedying - as you can guess it will take a lot longer for us to be able to catch up. All our systems booking and invoicing are internet reliant!



With regard to Pipie and competition if your supplier gives a good competent honest reliable service then price (assuming it is reasonable) should not be an issue. To give a good level of service and information takes a lot of time and effort. You also pay for experience and knowledge.



All I can ask you is how many agents have you gone to (who you have not bought your flights from) who have helped you with problems, we have been known to and will still try to as we beleive people come first not business and we try to treat suppliers and customers like friends. This is why we also publish info on the BB's.

Bankadan Msg 2 + 8 - not for quite a while yet. Maybe between 2 and 3 months in advance of the winter season.



Authentichoccie Msg 3 - yes you can and they should be the same price allowing for exchange rates (Euro Dollar TL & GBP are all involved - very complex) This applies both ways for Turkish and CTA similarily for Pegasus too!



semtcm Msg 7 - I hope you have a secure method of taking the credit card authority



Turbo - many thanks for your confidence in us, I hope that we continue to satisfy.

Pipie, competition does not keep people on their toes - fair competition does.



I hope you don't compare only in £p or TL but in service qulaity of product as well.
