Discount Travel Prices:
Our genuine discount travel & tours booking prices are
achieved and maintained because we don't spend your money on expensive TV
advertising! By keeping our advertising costs low our overheads are kept to a
minimum and our discounts kept to the maximum we can achieve. Unlike many large
travel companies we don't spend millions of dollars a year on TV advertising. By
the way, have you ever wondered whose money they are actually spending during
those expensive TV and media campaigns? Think about it. If they spend 5 million
a year on TV advertising aren't they simply recouping those costs through
company profits - derived from their travelling public of course? Now we pour
our resources into achieving great value travel prices for you. This is why we
are confident to provide you not only with great discount airfares, but we are
confident that we can provide you with the best quality and value for money
discount air travel, car hire, accommodation, discount travel insurance and
holiday packages & tours anywhere in the world. We also guarantee to provide
personalised, expert, professional advice to you, our valued customers whenever
you contact us to make phone bookings (obviously we can't provide this service
to you if you choose to book online!).

Discount Travel Tip: How to save time &
money
If you save time you also save money because time is money to
most of us. Also, if you try to book online yourself it takes
longer, because some airlines seem to want to know your street
address, fax number, email address, landline phone number, mobile
phone number and the colour of your next door neighbour's cat!
(just kidding about that bit). We don't require as much
information, so it's a lot quicker to book via phone on 03 6231
3844.
So if you want to save time then call us to make use of our
booking engines and we'll make sure our consultants work quickly
and efficiently to find your air fares. If you want us to search
for those "super special fares" such as Virgin Blue's "Dollar
Fares" then we do charge a service fee, all of which are
documented on our service fees page.
If you are searching for cheaper airfares then these are usually
found during off peak times (Tues & Wed). Don't expect to
find many cheap tickets during school holiday periods or at other
times or peak demand such as during major sporting events.
Airlines know when the demand for tickets is likely to be higher
during these popular times and they price their tickets
accordingly!
Try to book as far in advance as possible because as planes fill,
the prices go up. Beware of purchasing cheap tickets just because
they are cheap! They are usually non-refundable so we advise you
to think before you purchase and ensure you purchase our cheap
travel insurance policies so you are covered in case you are
unable to travel. Likewise, some cheap fares are deceptive. Make
sure you check that fares are available both ways or you'll end
up having your trip cost more because to get from A to B you've
got to return now don't you? We don't believe there is any such
thing in this world as a "free lunch" so beware the advertising
spiel and be careful when purchasing online. It only takes a
phone call to talk to an experienced travel consultant and
remember, that travel consultants can provide independent advice
on the best itinerary to suit your needs. Don't be caught out
because without a travel agent you're on your own!

*Price Beat Policy means that if you bring us a
competitor's quote and the fares mentioned in that quote are
still available (that is, if the class of fares and/or special
ticket prices are not already sold out and, are available to us
as an agent), then we guarantee that we will undercut the
original quote you've obtained. This is providing the original
quote is not a mistake by the original travel agent and that the
fares quoted are still current. This policy applies only to first
time comparison quotations. Please refer below for further details on "price
beat" policy and Travel Voucher issue.
We do not offer Price Beat on domestic sale fare prices such as
those offered by various airlines including
Virgin blue and
Jetstar (for instance Virgin's "Dollar Happy Hour" and "Super
Saver" Fares etc).
