European Vacations

[Dee-M-See]

I have just received an offer from the above named firm offering me a free holiday for an admin fee of �20.00
This firm is based in Twyford, what is the catch?
Has anyone else received an offer from this firm?

have a look at this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/main.jhtml?x ml=/travel/2006/02/18/etonthecase18.xml&sSheet =/travel/2006/02/22/ixtrvhome.html
then make up your own mind.

Have a read of the description of the way this works: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/main.jhtml?x ml=/travel/2006/02/18/etonthecase18.xml

The explanation of the Company - which is a bona fide business - in the first 2 pages of the article should allow you to decide what is meant by 'free' and what is not. Note by the way it is the company spokesman that says 'the company has been trading successfully for 5 years.....' not the article author...

Henley Marketing that run the bookings for European Vacations (as noted in the article above) are a mail order company - not a travel agent and though they claim insurances against failure, any overseas travel should really be booked through travel agants not marketing companies, but if the savings are worth while and you don't mind the gamble, you could save something on the break. Your choice...

dont get caught up in this, common sense tells you that noboby nowhere is giving away holidays for �20.

Thanks Dee Sa for your advice, I think had already decided that like you say nobody gives out holidays for �20,00
Thanks for your reply
