I was about to book what I thought was an amazing holiday, ticked all the boxes, perfect location, 7 nights all inclusive deal and at a price that was (so I thought) unbelievably reasonable. I rang Green dot holidays to be surprised that what appeared to be the price on the website was intact what they offered (going well so far) however, I have always been a little apprehensive about some websites so always do read up prior to confirming booking, (I told the company I would ring them back).. well let's say I am glad I read the reviews.. some comments made about them not offering direct flights (alarm bells) and then adding additional costs at the last min.. So I did ring back and asked all the right questions.. surprise.. Not only had the price increased in the space of 5 minutes it turned about my short haul holiday did actually involve 10hr stop overs each way.. They then informed me for a direct flight (4hrs) would in fact cost us another £100 each (plus extras).. when I challenged this I was rudely informed nobody does direct anymore (it's not my first time booking so don't insult me).. so my perfect last minute cheap holiday was not what it appeared, I wasn't getting 7days this would have been less then 5 in reality with lots of hidden extras on the final payment.. Needless to say I have now booked elsewhere at a cost (no hidden extras and direct) at a price that's certainly more appropriate.. So glad I asked the right questions and also read the relevant reviews! Be careful if you decide to use this company.
