Poster: A snowHead
|
Have got a quote for a fairly good deal for les deux alpes with Crystal with flights from LGW. I live in Paris so was planning just to get the train and hop onto the transfer at the airport. However when I mentioned the fact that I didn't need the flight they said 'oh no, that would be accommodation only. We don't do that' any idea why? What would happen if I bought the option and then just didn't use the flights?! Wondering if I'm missing some massive issue here. Anyone else done this?!?! Cheers

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I don't see why you cant buy it anyway and not use the flights/transfer.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I suspect it's just a phone-monkey getting confused because you've said something that wasn't on their script.
Remember, if you're not on the plane, there is scope for the transfer rep to get confused similarly

they do train holidays and flights only, so cant see why they cant do just accommodation
Another thought - perhaps the agent misunderstood you and thought you only wanted accommodation without paying for the flight :: ring again, a different agent may be more 'accommodating'

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

from the CrystalSki website
"..Accommodation only
On some dates we are able to offer accommodation only holidays which include accommodation and food basis as booked. If you are overseas on business, using up your Air Miles, or visiting friends and just need accommodation only, this is available on a request basis, normally by deducting up to £60 for European or £100 per person off the brochure price on North American holidays respectively. Please call for an individual quotation on 020 8939 0726, subject to availability.
Should you require transfers these can also be arranged on our transfer coaches, at additional cost, as long as you are travelling on one of our charter flights. Otherwise, we would be pleased to offer you the option to buy car hire or private taxi transfers..."
