Wonderful customer service!!

We had a great experience booking our trip with Ethan. He couldn’t do enough. When our flight got cancelled, we contacted Away Holidays and spoke with Brooklyn. He was amazing. He went out of his way to make sure we felt happy with the change and sorting everything so quickly! Thank you both :)

Shouted at over by agent

Recently tried to change flights - asked for a breakdown in costs as in less than 24h the price has gone up over £200.
Agent stated they were unable to provide the breakdown. Asked politely surely they can - agent ended up shouting over the phone. Never booking again with away holidays.

Dear Darsh,

We wanted to apologize for the unpleasant experience you had with our travel agent recently.

Regarding your inquiry about the sudden increase in price, unusual spikes can occur depending on several variables such as airlines changing fares, availability of seats and the time of booking however if you can share the booking reference number with us then can look into the booking and provide you the breakdown
