TRAVEL CITY SCAM!

Advantages: NONE AT ALL!
Disadvantages: IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE AND BANK BALANCE DONT BOOK WITH TRAVEL CITY DIRECT EVER!

...Seriously if you value your health you will not book your holiday through travel city, whom are now part of the xl leisure group plc, and use xl as their airline carriers! My family and i, two adults and three kids youngest aged 6 thought we had a reasonable deal when we booked our recent holiday to orlando. It was our fourth visit and the first time we had booked with T.C.D, we also purchased sunshine first seats aswell as house and car hire as a package. When we first boarded the xl boeing 767 on the 1st feb 07 our first impression was reasonable seat pitch and that im afraid to say is the only positive thing to say. There was no meal choice for 1st class passengers and all my daughter and i was offered was salmon? 8 hrs into the 10 hr flight my daughter aged 6 violently vomitted and my husband and i started feeling very unwell...

Review of Travel City Direct

The Incompetence of Travel City Direct

Advantages: None spring to mind now
Disadvantages: Ruined family holiday

...11pm, but we would be updated at 1pm. Oh well, the hurricane, can't be helped. We eventually check our luggage in and settled down to a day at gatwick airport. At 1pm we waited but no update and no Travel City Direct reps to be found, in fact we had to wait until 5pm for an announcement for passengers on our flight to go down to the check in desk. We were then told that our flight had only just left Sanford airport on its way back and we would not now be going until the early hours of Sunday morning, but another update would come at 7pm. At 7pm we were told we would be updated at 8pm. At 8pm there were no reps around and by now approx 450 passengers were looking for information. Eventually the police arrived and wanted to know what all these people were doing there, this resulted in calls for Travel City Direct reps being called...

Travel City Direct

Advantages: First Class cabin
Disadvantages: Hurricanes may delay take-off from UK

...We have travelled with Travel City Direct twice now, and I have not had any problems that stick in my mind. Although we did travel 1st class for better service and easier check-in etc, there were no delays and the flights were fine. I would recommend utilising their pre flight bag check in: basically you check your bags in with TCD in the morning of your last day away and you don't see them again until you arrive back. Unfortunatley our summer holiday time does coinside with Florida's hurricane season but have only had two minor ones when over there. The planes were the ones featured on their website and the food was better than any other airline I have been on, would definately go with them again...

Review of Travel City Direct

Travel city and luxury florida villas

Advantages: last minute deals actually available, keys for villa accomodation are picked up on arrival at Sanford Airport
Disadvantages: none

...I am a bargain hunter for everything I buy, and last minute holidays are no exception to this rule! Travel city at the time I booked my last holiday were the cheapest I found on the teletext, and as the other opinions say on here a lot of the last minute deals that are advertised are never available when you phone for them. Travel city did have all the advertised dates available when i phoned to book a holiday. I have done a hotel holiday in florida once but I much prefer to have the luxury of a private villa, they are always of a very high standard and they have everything you could possibly need from a washing machine right to your own private pool! The biggest plus with Travel City also is that at Sanford Airport they have a check in desk where you can obtain the keys to your property, this is a great plus for both the frequent...

Review of Travel City Direct

Travel City Direct

Advantages: efficient, pleasant staff
Disadvantages: smelly flight seats

...I had booked with Travel City Direct before reading reviews on other sites. After reading many many complaints I was very apprenhensive on my forthcoming holiday. 14 night for 8 people at Florida. However I can honestly say it was one of the best holidays I have had. Arrived at Sandford airport, no delays. Picked up car - lovely spacious had a little trouble finding accomodation but that was due to the fact my husband wouldn't take a little time in studying route - just jumped in and went. Key pad number provided for door to beautiful villa. Spotlessly clean plenty of towels, crockery etc. Brilliantly sized bedrooms. Very clean and safe jacuzzi and pool. At meeting following day rep helpful and informative. Only complaint - plane seats were very close to toilets and every so often horrendous smells!!!!!!***** Overall good...

Travel Inn Style

Advantages: Convenient Location, Reasonable Costs, Clean
Disadvantages: No in house restaurant

...As I prepare for my trip to New York this upcoming week I decided to review the previous hotel that I stayed in for a long weekend in November back in 2003, The Travel Inn. I was not originally meant to be staying at the Travel Inn as I had booked the four of us into the Hotel Newton which was located on 2528 Broadway and had a 1 star rating and at the time I did not realise how far this hotel was located from the Times Square area, and on arrival we were all beginning to worry about the distance to all the tourist facilities. On this occasion we were lucky, due to problems with existing guests we arrived at the hotel to check-in only to be told that there was no room and we were being transferred to a better hotel in a better location......BRILLIANT!! The Travel Inn was our next location and the Hotel Newton even paid for us...

Review of Travel Inn Manhattan, New York City

Budget accomodation gem

Advantages: Location, Price, parking
Disadvantages: Breakfast

...hotel and here's why. Charing cross is not far from the end of the famous sauchiehall (Soggy hall) street which is the Glasgow equivalent of oxford street. This means that you are within 5 mins walking distance of the very center of glasgow. In addtion to this the location means that from a transport perspective you are also very well siutated with easy access to the M8, the charing cross train station right next door and glasgow airport just a few miles away. If travelling by car there is a multistorey car park which only charges you £1 for over night parking which can be far more if you stay in one of the other city hotels. TOP TIPS Don't eat the breakfast Ask for a room higher up in the building as if you get a room on the wrong side and low down you can hear the train announcment until late at night. Don't eat at the hotel...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Glasgow - City Centre (Charing Cross), Glasgow

Euro Trip

Advantages: Funny Teenagers in Europe
Disadvantages: Crude, rude humour

...Euro Trip is one of those teenage movies that actually can?t help but make you laugh. It?s of a similar humour to American Pie, rude, crude and a little wrong but actually a very well made movie and in my opinion very funny. Euro Trip was released in 2004 . It stars your usual bunch of teenage actors that have swamped Hollywood in recent years. Some have gone on to make more of their careers, some haven?t done very much at all. The girl in this movie who goes to Europe is Michelle Trachtenberg and she has been in Buffy and gone on to do quite well. The basic plot of this movie tells the story of Scott Thomas and his three friend?s travels across Europe in search of his pen pal Mieke. He discovers he has feelings for her after he is unceremoniesly dumped by his college girlfriend. In quite funny scenes from the beginning...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Glasgow - City Centre (Charing Cross), Glasgow

Travelling compactly

Advantages: Folds up compactly, bright colours, use as a cot or play pen
Disadvantages: Thin mattress base

...~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~ My mother in law wanted to buy a travel cot when my son was born as she will be looking after him when I go back to work. We looked around on the internet and when she saw the Graco compact she decided that was the one, she loved that it was nice and bright and thought my son would enjoy playing in there as well as sleeping. We ordered it from Kiddicare but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. I have since seen it on Amazon, Halfords and Ebay though for roughly the same prices. ~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~ -Suitable from birth to around 3 years. -It comes in a handy carry case, making it easy for travel. -The travel cot unfolds easily and I actually put it up in a couple of minutes on my first attempt. -The sides are mesh which is nice and soft for wriggly babies banging their heads, also...
