Fantastic experience: My First Experience was amazing, I went through Christine to book flights to Aussie! She was very professional and super friendly, she was really helpful and helped me get a good deal! I will definitely come back for another appointment next year if I decide to come back to Australia again! Thank you Christine :) Cheers Jordan Anderson

Fantastic experience: Charlotte provided exceptional service in arranging our family trip to Germany. She attentively listened to our preferences and secured an excellent deal, including an extra day for us to explore Auckland and hotel accommodation in the city centre. Her efficiency in organising travel insurance and her assurance of continued support during our trip were greatly appreciated. Charlotte's professionalism, speed, and accessibility make her a standout travel agent. We highly recommend Charlotte for hassle-free travel planning from start to finish.

Negative experience: Invercargill store did not have enough staff available to help as deal expired on Friday. I tried to book via website for Vivid deal in Sydney. They had us flying from Invercargill to Christchurch then to Wellington then to Sydney and then on the return trip Sydney to Queenstown and then to Christchurch and finally back to Invercargill. I would of thought they could do far better than this. We were flexible with the dates. I decided I would book the trip myself.

Hi Kathryn, thank you for your review. I do apologise that our staffing levels are reduced, this is an industry wide problem and we are currently recruiting to help with this. I have passed your feedback on to our online call centre team for review as I can understand your frustration with the routing of the flights. We hope your trip goes well and you enjoy Sydney.

Sarah C 2 years ago

Negative experience: Went to start the process for booking a family holiday. I was asked to wait. Waited for 20 to 30 mins. A couple came in and were seen immediately. Maybe their money was a better colour? I noped out of there.

Hi Sarah, I do apologise for your experience. Due to high demand, we are currently working by appointment only. We are currently experiencing a massive surge in enquiry with half the staff of 3 years ago. However this doesn't excuse the fact that you should have been offered an appointment time for a later date and not had to sit and wait for this. Rest assured, I will bring this up with the staff to ensure this doesn't happen again. If we can help in the future, please give us a call to make an appointment to start planning your family holiday.
