I have found on many quotes the F C to be way over the top. Let me tell you, 16 nights at Dynasty in April Hols from Syd, 2Adults, 2 Kids
first Price $8200, went to my local agent as i always get quotes from many she after 1 phone call came back with $7100 but said real prices are not out yet. 2 weeks later after telling F C to dear said the same real prices not out yet, but now there are told me $7200, my local agaent gave me price of $5900, then it was dropped again by $100. Asked filght centre to match, was told only on Air fares cheapest they would do was $6800 what would you do. Flight centre are not cheap they use only a couple of wholesalers on accomadation and will match flight price as their ad tells. Look around many little agents will go the extra mile to get you the best price. I have an extra $3000 in my pocket which is spending money for the trip because i look a round.
\I am not saying all F C are doing the wrong thing but are they not franchised out? or if controlled by a central HO which then should be all the same price like a KFC or Maca's or are they trying to get a bit extra out the eprson who only goes to "the big dealers".
Food for thought maybe? Bring on the 7th April......
