Terrible Customer Service

I booked a family holiday on a non refundable rate to travel within 2 weeks of booking. My dad unexpectedly passed away during this time, I contacted Destination2 on 2 occasions and within 2 minutes on the phone they advised us there was nothing they could do ie any form of refund, credit - nothing. Now I understand I booked a non-refundable rate but when you consider the circumstances one would hope they would 'try' and negotiate something with their supplier after all, they are a travel agency in the consumer services sector?!

On the other hand, we also had a break booked with trip.com, again on a non refundable rate and they were sympathetic and explored options with us, in the end we managed to get a FULL refund for our booking on a non-refundable rate. Needless to say customer service is a factor that sets these companies apart and I know which brand I'll be using & recommending out of the two.

EDIT/ This review in its entirety is about your customer service. As I mentioned earlier, we had booked a NON REFUNDABLE rate with trip.com also, who after some back and forth were able to offer a FULL refund due to said circumstances. 🏅

EDIT// Thank you for providing your booking reference. As mentioned below, although we send our sincerest sympathies, it is for circumstances such as this that travel insurance is required and can usually assist with any associated financial losses.

Hello Bijal Parmar and thank you for your review. We're very sorry about your father's passing and send our condolences from everyone here at Destination2. We would appreciate your booking reference to allow us to see the full details please. However, we would offer that when a non-refundable rate is booked, it is correct that a refund unfortunately cannot be provided even under such extraordinary circumstances which is would be for your travel insurers.

Amazing as always

As always Nadine has looked after our family holiday arrangements to the very highest standards. It’s now 5 years in a row and has never let us down! Highly recommended

Hello James, thank you for providing your reference so that we may respond factually to your comments. The contract terms and conditions that you have been able to review for many months clearly cover the circumstances in which you were asked to pay an additional amount after the booking was confirmed. This relates to an increase by your airline and under the scope of the contract we are entitled to pass this on. We are sorry if you have overlooked that. Importantly however, you fail to mention that Destination2 has also abided by the contract and absorbed a proportion in order to comply with it. Having reviewed the circumstances, we remain satisfied that your booking has been administered in accordance with our Booking Conditions and the contract. This has been explained clearly via normal channels and upon reflection we would hope that you may consider improving the rating of your review to reflect the promised service level and experience you had with us which was open and transparent.





Hello James, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear this and do not demand payments therefore we would be interested in receiving your booking reference in order to see why there is an increase in price so that we may respond accurately.
There are many valid reasons for this to happen, and they are covered by our terms and conditions.

This was our first time booking a holiday through Destination2, and I have to say that Nadine made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.
From the moment we spoke to her, she was friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in making sure we found the right holiday for our family. She took the time to answer all our questions and never made us feel rushed, no matter how many things we asked.
What really stood out was how reassuring she was throughout the booking process. Booking a holiday is a big expense, and it's natural to have a few concerns, but Nadine's knowledge and confidence put our minds at ease. She explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable that we were making the right decision.
By the end of the process, we felt completely confident in our booking and genuinely excited about our holiday. Excellent customer service can be hard to find these days, but Nadine went above and beyond.
A huge thank you to Nadine for all her help. She is a real credit to Destination2, and we wouldn't hesitate to book through her again.

I had an excellent experience booking my holiday with Stephen. He was incredibly patient, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process. He spent over three hours on the phone with me, making sure every detail was exactly right and that everything was perfect before finalising the booking.

Nothing was too much trouble, and he took the time to answer all of my questions and explain the different options, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to providing outstanding customer service really stood out.

I wouldn't hesitate to book with Stephen again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring travel agent. Thank you for making the whole booking process so easy!

Excellent service from Joseph Weeks at Destination2

I received excellent service from Joseph Weeks at Destination2 from start to finish. Joseph was always polite, professional, and incredibly helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him.

I changed my requirements several times, and Joseph was more than happy to provide multiple quotes, check different flight options, and answer all of my questions without ever making me feel like I was a nuisance.

What really stood out was his communication. He always phoned me back when he said he would and replied to my emails promptly, keeping me updated throughout the whole booking process.

It’s rare to receive customer service of this standard these days, and Joseph made the whole experience straightforward and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both Joseph and Destination2 to anyone looking to book a holiday.

Thank you again for your outstanding service!

Joseph was outstanding

Joseph was outstanding, real attention to detail, great advice + great follow up. After a horrendous experience with another well know booking provider his speedy responses and genuine care for our booking was much appreciated. Very competitive pricing also and immediate confirmation receipts.

Ive just booked to travel to the Maldives with Nadine at Destination 2. I must say she was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly. She went through flights and explained about the sea plane and she was more than happy to answer all my questions. Nadine was very friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. When I come to book again I will definitely ask to speak to Nadine personally.

We booked a Dubai package for 14 people through Destination2 and initially got a good price. The problems started when I tried to extend our stay by 3 nights.

Customer service told me I had to email my request instead of handling it on the phone. After emailing, I waited 3 working days with no response. When I called again, they finally sent a quote — but it expired almost immediately, before I had a real chance to review it.

I fly Emirates every year and always book directly with them, so I know their customer service well. Due to the current situation in Dubai, Emirates were offering a free flight date change. When I asked Destination2 to apply this, they quoted me £1,516 for the change. I explained multiple times that the airline change itself was free, but the price kept increasing each time I called, and staff didn’t seem willing to engage with what I was saying. I ended up paying £4,216 in total just to amend the dates.

This was my first time booking a holiday through Destination2, and unfortunately it’s put me off using a travel agent for this kind of trip again. The upfront deal was appealing, but if you need to make any changes afterward, be prepared for slow email-only responses and significant extra charges — even for changes the airline itself offers for free.

My advice: get everything in writing before you book, ask directly what amendment fees look like, and consider whether booking flights and hotels separately might give you more flexibility and better service if plans change.

Hello Gagan Khanna, thank you for your review. It is company policy to receive amendment requests in writing for the protection of all parties. This is as stipulated in your contract terms. Unfortunately, you are mistaken that an Emirates free flight change applied to your ticket fare rules and we have obtained quotes from them via our supplier which are accurate. Regrettably, the exchanges had about the price and your disputing our content have resulted in it increasing due to demand around availability which is beyond our control. We respectfully suggest that your advice here to book elements separately is unwise as there is then no package protection and that has proven particularly relevant following the recent Middle East crisis.
