The agent on the phone was great

The agent on the phone was great, but your online system didn't work, and there were tech issues on April 30:

- 01 804 7160 phone number connected but it was silent. Agent rang me back but I could here nothing when I made the initial calls.
- When trying to pay online, it kept saying the kids' ages didn't match, but they did. I even tried changing their birth years to the year after and before, but still said error.

On arrival at my hotel there was no…booking

On arrival at my hotel there was no booking made. The Grand hotel Capodimonte staff contacted the phone numbers on my behalf as per the (bedsonline) voucher but to no avail. I had to pay for the hotel myself. I have tried to contact Abbey travel since my return by email and phone but to no avail. I spoke to a local Abbey travel agent and tried to explain what had gone wrong but was quickly fobbed off and was told it was my fault.

Hi Ray
We can see from your file that you booked a hotel in Naples on our website, and not in Sorrento, hence upon arrival at Capodimonte there was no reservation for you. You did have the Abbey Travel contact number on your documents but unfortunately you did not contact us, therefore not giving us the chance to assist you at the time. The fact that you only contacted the office after your return it was explained to you that there is very little we can do at this stage. If you would like to take this further, please email customerservice@abbeytravel.ie.

If I could give 0 I would

If I could give 0 I would. Phones never answered rude emails. Flight was changed only think offered was a week later a day less £15 more. Ryan air let us know money had been refunded to the account. Abbey travel still holding it over two weeks later despite numerous emails to them. An official complaint was made about as much use as a chocolate tea pot. Ryan air informed us on 29th March yet Abbey travel keep saying they haven’t got the money despite 2 emails to us from Ryan air informing us that the money is in their account. Would never ever use or recommend this company.

Dear Claire,

We can see on your booking that Ryanair cancelled your flight which is unfortunate, but this is out of our control and in this situation, we can work with you to find an alternative, or we can refund you.

Our records show that your travelling companion, who made the booking, decided not to proceed with any alternative on the 17th April and a refund request was submitted to Ryanair. This refund was confirmed by the airline on 23rd April. It does take some time for bank transfers to be processed and so, she was advised once the funds were back with us she would be refunded. As of today, the funds are now available for us to refund to her so we will be in touch to process this.

The agent that dealt with your case was in contact with your travelling companion throughout and handled this case exactly in accordance with procedure.

regards

La Liga soccer tickets

I booked some tickets for an Athletico Madrid vs Barcelona La Liga soccer game via Abbey Travel Sports Department. I was dealing with Paul Nolan who was so sound to deal with, we received the tickets via email a week in advance and they were in such a great location in the stadium. We have booked some rugby trips with Abbey Travel before and all have gone just as well as this soccer trip. Abbey Travel obvsiously have access to great contacts for tickets! Thanks again Paul!

I visited Abbey Travel Naas on Thursday…

I visited Abbey Travel Naas on Thursday February 29th and spoke with Lisa Cannon who was very helpful in selecting holiday options for me. The following day in Lisa’s absence I spoke with Angela Hayden and was able to complete my booking. On Saturday March 2nd Lisa contacted me to ensure everything was good to go and was able to help with a last minute hitch. I very much appreciated the follow up and customer service given by Lisa.
I have used Abbey Travel Naas many times over the past 30+ years and will do so again, and will happily recommend them and their excellent staff.

Abbey travels hidden gem

We booked with Jacynta last year and absolutely loved her personal knowledge of where we were going (1st time to travel to this destination) and she was 100% spot on about it. So much so when we decided to go on holidays this year we went directly to jacynta to book. She makes the whole process so simple .

Best Travel Agent

Karen at Abbey Travel was the most helpful travel agent I have ever dealt with!

She took all the hassle out of booking flights to Australia for my husband and I as well as my daughter, who was leaving from a different country and wanted to meet us in Dubai for the flight to Brisbane and was returning on a different date.

Karen was so friendly and efficient and I would highly recommend her and Abbey Travel to anyone travelling. Thank you Karen.

Orla Abbey Travel Killarney.

Orla - Our advisor was absolutely amazing. I usually book all my own holidays but I hadnt a clue about booking a cruise. Orla explained everything, looked at different options for us and came up with a package that suited our dates and more importantly our wallet.
Excellent service and if I could give 10 stars I would.
Highly recommended advisor.
Thanks for all the help.

Arigatogozaimasu Becci

Wanting a once in a lifetime holiday to japan I had tried lots of travel agents in the north of Ireland where I live with no real success but fortunately having left a voice message on abbey travel's phone line Becci returned my call. She was fantastic from the start. Nothing was to much trouble, all my endless questions, queries and changes were answered with the same enthusiasm!! We booked everything Becci recommended, flights were flawless, our hotel was in the ideal location and was perfect for all our needs (a miracle with a party of 6) and private transfers made our arrival in toyko so easy. Becci made our holiday unforgettable!!! Can't wait for you to organise our next family adventure!!!

Trip to Vienna

I dropped by Abbey Travel to price an upcoming trip having got various prices prices both online and other travel agents and I was pleasantly surprised at the cost so I immediately booked the trip. I was so satisfied that within a couple of days I upgraded to a better hotel and return transfer to my hotel. The booking agent Toni was very helpful and made the experience very simple.
Keep up the good work Abbey Travel

Gemma in Naas office

Dealing with Gemma in the Naas office was amazing. From the first phone call she made us feel like we were her only customers! She is so knowledgeable about destinations and so professional from start to finish. Fantastic family holiday planned now. Thank you so much Gemma.

Very friendly

Very friendly. We asked when booking for walk in shower young lady said she would have to email our hotel/apartment and would get back later that day to let us know if they could facilitate us. She was back to us before close of business on the same day to say all was good and yes we would have what we require.

Abby Travel Swords

I would highly recommend booking your family holidays with Abbey Travel Swords. I have booked two holidays so far with Jacynta who was so helpful answering my endless amount of questions. I was finding it harder to pick the right holiday for our family now that our children are getting older so I gave Jacynta a wish list and she ticked every box. We even got to extend our holiday for very little extra.
