Booking a trip to Gibralter.

The agent took the time to ensure that my booking was correct and addressed any questions that I had.
The experience was a bit trying as it took a long time for the computer to verify the booking and the agent had to ring support to get the problem resolved.

Friendly service…

Booked a cruise with the Southend branch over the phone. Pleasant service although the Hays website for booking cruises is far worse than Seascanner, Iglu etc... They price matched for me which is benefit.

Jersey Holiday Booking

My wife and I wanted to book a week long trip to Jersey. I had checked on line with EasyJet holidays, the firm that we wanted to go with, but we were struggling to find the holiday we wanted.

I called into Hayes Travel in Southend and explained all this to the rep. She subsequently found two holiday that were suitable, to take away to discuss with my wife.

We chose the more homely looking venue and I completed the booking the next day, with the same rep. The only small surprise was that although the holiday was booked for June, full payment was required immediately.

However I cannot fault the rep. She was very pleasant, helpful and extremely proficient.
