A disaster....right hand left hand…
A disaster....right hand left hand syndrome comes to mind. I had a query regarding the stated baggage allowance from K.L. to Chiang Mai on my Vista confirmation. I spoke to Jess who informed me that she would have to check. I was on hold for 10 minutes, at which point I put the phone down. I rang again, this time speaking to Cory. She also could not answer my query, however she said that she would ring me back, which she did. She confirmed what was on the confirmation i.e. 30kg on a short haul flight. I am not convinced that this is the case.....the flight from Heathrow to K.L. is only 23kg! Also on the Hayes confirmation it states Heathrow to K.L. flight "Meals included" N, the inference being that no meals are included on the flight. I have been assured that this is not the case, so I ask the question why is the information SO misleading. I also asked Cory if Vista and Hayes were the same company, she said they are. Jess tells me this is not the case! I have spent all morning trying to unravel what I consider to be very confusing and contradictory information. I usually book with Trailfinders, and have always found them to be very professional. For this holiday I decided to give Hayes a try, but I am already beginning to question my decision. I would respectfully suggest that more training of staff is in order....not least leaving clients on hold for 10 minutes which is completely unacceptable. I look forward to receiving your response.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Samantha at Hays Travel for the outstanding service she provided. She went above and beyond to accommodate our booking request and made the whole process so easy and stress-free.
Nothing was too much trouble, and she took the time to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted. Her professionalism, patience, and friendly approach really stood out, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her customers.
Exceptional customer service is hard to come by these days, but Samantha absolutely delivered. She's a real credit to Hays Travel, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to book their next holiday. Thank you again!
