Travel agents - do they ever answer the phone

Expat Sueño
By Expat Sueño

I've phoned a bunch of them and they just ring forever. Do I need to turn up in person, or is there some magic to getting them to answer?

thanks,

Yes, I talked to Mannai once also. After several weeks, they e-mailed me back a price that was the equivalent of buying the danged hotel. I booked myself through Expedia.

they take forever to put together a package. Best is to try the Airlines direct for a better deal on Holidays. Such as Emirates, Srilankan Airlines and Qatar Airways..

I just spoke with someone at Mannai. They're going to send me an e-mail so we can work out a holiday.

Whew.

Especially when I'm already sat in front of them in mid transaction!!!

BTW, have you tried Mannai? They answer to me and even reply to e-mails!

Did you Google it first?

Doing things manually and in person develops good mental powers and builds character. You better off by going there in person.

Just remember Qatar is not an Expat dream house for Sueños of fairy's.
