Lack of online transfer information

by admin on 16/09/09 at 2:59 pm

One email I received last night I could relate to. More of us are making our own arrangements for transfers to the hotel from the airport, simply because it’s actually cheaper than paying the tour operator and you don’t have to sit on the coach while it goes around all of the hotels.

Consumers need this information

There is a severe lack of information to help holidaymakers get from the airport to the resort or holiday accommodation. I remember reading the results of a survey undertaken by Frommer’s Unlimited that highlighted 70% said airport and transportation is important to help them plan their trip.

So come on, how many holiday companies are providing this important information?

Impressed with EasyJet

I was impressed with the EasyJet in-flight magazine because it provided some basic information on how to get to the destination from the airport, and while it was helpful, it’s probably a little too late when your sat on the plane. Especially if you are like me, and like to be organised.

Airport transfers while booking

Some holiday companies have partnerships with the likes of Resort Hoppa or Holiday Taxis, but have you seen the price of the journeys, it’s not cheap. Usually, it is much cheaper to use public transport or a service provided by the airport to popular cities and towns.

I would love to know why not many sites are providing this information, please add your thoughts.
