Travel arrangements by tour company 

I would like to know what other travelers experiences have been regarding the flight and hotel arrangements made by GoAheadTours.  I am nervous that flight arrangements are disclosed only 30 days ahead but I owe the balance of my trip 60 days ahead.  I am curious to know time of flight, seat on plane, etc.  Do they actually wait until 30 days out to book your flights, if that is the case then we will most definitely have the worse flights/seats etc.

Re: Travel arrangements by tour company 

Hi,

I am the Internet Marketing Manager (and forum moderator) here at Go Ahead Tours. I just saw your post about your concern with your flight arrangements on your Fables of Ancient Greece tour. I assure you that our flights team does their very best to find you the best flight itinerary available and you will be booked on a preliminary flight soon after making your reservation on tour.

One of the reasons your flight itinerary is not ticketed/released until 55 days prior to departure is that the team is continuously searching for a better flight option for you. If they find a better routing, they will switch it, ensuring the best itinerary. Another reason is because airlines continuously have schedule/routing/equipment (aircraft type) changes  so we don’t want to release an itinerary knowing that there is a high chance that it will change, sometimes several times, before departure.

When are you traveling? If you let me know your name and customer number I can do my best to get you your flight itinerary as early as possible.

Thanks,
Lynne

Re: Travel arrangements by tour company 

We booked our first trip last year with Go Ahead (London,Rome & Paris) all I will say is just let them do what they do. We had no problems everything was fine from the flight to the hotels, actually we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of hotels we stayed at.

Trust me - don't waste time thinking about the arrangments - what you do want to think about is what you'll be doing when you get there and how to make and get the most enjoyment out of your trip.

RELAX - let Go Ahead take care of everything else.
