Since the 2000s, the ability to find and book flights online has resulted in big savings for travellers. Many of those who posed as experts - travel agencies and tour operators - went out of business as people found that they could find and book what they wanted themselves. What’s more, it was fun and added to expectations.
However, whilst it is true that for short hops to European destinations most of us can find a flight and a decent hotel without needing to discuss things with an agent, when it comes to destinations outside Europe, things are simply not the same.
Expertise is vital when booking a long-haul break. At Steamond Travel Maida Vale we have extensively travelled ourselves and we’ve built up an immense amount of knowledge covering most of the globe. The complications and possibilities of longer trips and routings mean that our expertise can make a real difference. And, it is not just a question of familiarity with the relevant destinations, and giving helpful advice about where you might go and when. We know the fares on offer - and the best ways of combining or even reducing them by, for example, adding a hotel and creating a package - both add value, and create significant savings.
Then there’s the security offered by ABTA and ATOL licensing. And don't not forget that we’re on hand 24/7 should you need us on your travels. As the man said, a no-brainer, to which many of our discerning clients testify.
