Money Money Money...
Flights, hotels and holidays are all priced using a dynamic system. This means that pricing will fluctuate up and down. Mostly up. But sometimes down! Recently I have worked with clients to plan holidays, and they have wanted some time to consider their decision – which of course is absolutely fine. But time flies and when they come back to me a week or two later, and I refresh the price…it has inevitably increased.
This does not please my client. It does not please me. I would go so far to say that I hate it when that happens, as it is news that I don’t want to deliver. It can sometimes mean that a holiday has moved out of budget and we have to start again, which is painful for all.
I don’t have a way of ‘holding’ the price when I quote you. The systems are dynamic for every company. If someone says they are able to do this….it is because they have probably over-priced your holiday initially to protect themselves (and it probably means they were charging you over the odds anyway as a buffer) So how can you avoid being in this position? Well….try to be in a place to proceed quite quickly when you are looking for a trip. Looking for a holiday months and months ahead if you aren’t ‘proceedable’ is a waste of your time – the price will change.
When you know it is the holiday for you – BOOK IT! In most cases this means that you just need a small deposit to secure it. That stops it in its tracks. It is booked. The price will not change. Job done.
If you’re pretty much ready to book then go for it. Prices are higher post pandemic – for everything, not just travel! So, you’ll need a realistic budget, but you can be absolutely reassured that I will look after your money as it it were my own to search and find you the very best value that I can, to get you the trip that you wish for.
And then…I will look after you every step of the way…
