International travel has become particularly onerous and so it is essential to find agents who can help alleviate the stress of sourcing a competitive price, organising itineraries, booking the travel, accommodation and associated services. YourTravel has provided an exceptional level of service, working with our Company to understand our requirements, tailoring the various flights to ensure the maximum amount of time for our business to be conducted with the least time wasted.
Their representatives have been professional, highly competent and a pleasure to work with, going the extra mile on all occasions. We have experienced excellent service, most particularly from their representative Lauren Townsend, who obtained competitive rates with an exacting itinerary and, importantly, have monitored our recent travels over a two and a half week trip through various time zones to assist in arranging boarding passes and booking seats.
We would highly recommend YourTravel for both business and personal travel and will be using them for our future bookings.
