It's always nice to pop into the bitterne travel shop. Staff always very friendly and polite.
We saw Margie who helped us with our holiday and gave all information clearly.
We're hoping the hotel we have chosen will be as nice as it looks.
Was easy and quick to confirm and pay and I had all paperwork printed off for me.

Mexico holiday.... Don't book at Hayes
Went to mexico for our 40rh wedding anniversary. Decided to support local company who saved many jobs when they bought Thomas cook. Never again. They don't know what they are doing. Told us yes we check you in.... Then flight moved from Sunday to Monday... Oh we are shut Sunday... Can't do it. You can go into town to do it. Paid for fast track through security....guess what....it was closed at 5am
Surely they should have known this !!!! Never offered us priority choice. Will book direct next time.. oh yes... We paid £4 for currency buyback and they didn't implement it. I went back 3 weeks later and questioned.. tough they said. 2 hours later they called me and said.. sorry our fault... Come and collect your £12... Very poor.. staff don't seem to know anything...
When I asked to speak to person who sold us holiday.. I was told .. oh she has left and now works at another place... Turns up that wasn't correct neither(Bitterne Branch)

Incredible Service + Amazing Deals
Amazing - I originally had one lady (Margi) dealing with my request who was so helpful sent me everything I could ask for. When I went back with more questions another lady (Lily) picked up my query as the Margi was on holiday and we were constantly back and fourth by email as I kept changing my mind or asking for things to be added on but nothing was to much trouble and they were brilliant. Once my holiday was booked most places just leave you too it and figure it out but I had to email as I needed help with the app and paying some of the holiday off and Tayha was more than happy to help and go through how to do this with me. I would be looking to go back to Hays Bitterne to book another holiday 100%

Margi worked miracles again
Margi worked miracles again! She goes above and beyond and takes all the stress away!
The Hays app wasn’t recognising my booking and she called straight away to tell me she’d checked and there was definitely a booking! And my partner was down as lead passenger not me and problem solved!
Popped into the store later that day and she’d already sorted the airport parking all I needed to do was check through everything and pay!
Hugely appreciate all you do Margi it really is a 5 star service with a smile!😃
