Easy to arrange

Charlotte answered all my questions clearly and was very reassuring regarding what happens if the jet fuel crisis continues.
She phoned back when she said she would and was happy to arrange special assistance for me on the flights and made sure to ask if I needed any adaptations in the hotel rooms etc.

Great service from a known company.

Having used Hayes before several years ago I decided to contact a member of your team when I was getting nowhere on my own with a non-standard Far East Trip.
We were looking for a business class trip to Singapore with a two night stop off in Dubai on the return leg and though I'm seasoned at sorting my own multi-leg trips out in Europe (flights and hotels booked separately) I was struggling with this one.
The Hayes representative (Maria Larn) was most helpful in getting our trip sorted in a matter of hours and we will definitely contact her again when looking for a trip which isn't straightforward.

Amazing customer service

I sent my holiday requirements via their Facebook page on Tuesday evening, by Wednesday evening my holiday was booked. Samantha, my agent, totally understood the brief and found me the perfect holiday, even working out of hours to get it booked. Her customer service was above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough!
The booking and payment service was very easy to navigate.
I have already asked her to find me a second holiday.
