In Reply to: Booking with Nicno, posted by Bob Bali on Sunday, 10. April 2005 at 09:56 Bali Time:
It amazes me that if someone disagrees with a post, they are then flamed for having a different opinion. I post occasionally on the BTF and would like to do this more often, but my husband and I have to sit back and think, 'gee will I be flamed for this comment', so quite often we don't post, as there are a few regular posters on here that will flame you if you disagree. I am the one that types the posts, but on most occasions, he is sitting here with me while I type the post.
I for one, wouldn't use Nicki, we have tried her via recommendations on the BTF and we decided to go elsewhere, as our request was lost after the initial response from Nicki, weeks later we received a follow up email, but by that stage we had already booked with someone else. Nicki may be a great travel agent, but if we hadn't gone elsewhere we would have missed out on the fantastic special that was available at the time.
If everyone had the same opinion, the world would be a very boring place. Basically, it is all about personal choice, if you get great service, good costings and a good response, stick with the travel agent that you like, if not go elsewhere. After all, the BTF is about informative information, whether the information is good or bad.
