Opinions re: go-today.com?
 
My husband and I are thinking of going to Paris with go-today.com? I'm looking for opinions regarding this company, positive or negative. Merci!

I just price a trip to Ireland for 10 days in August on that site, and compared it to what I came up with on my own for the same dates. The go-today.com trip was about $2,210. On my own, I found flights for $628 each (for two people) on Continental, and car rental, including VAT and insurance, for $475. So I save $479 by doing it myself.<BR><BR>There have been posts on the site with positive feedback, but I just don't see how you can save money with this company.

Nancy, I've used Go-Today since 1999 for 5 trips and have always had very good experiences with them. They have always delivered what they said with no surprises.

Nancy--excellent experience w. go-today. had a small problem w. gwtting my payment to them on time for reservations last month, and their telephone reps were MOST helpful and accomodating. also did a fairly extensive search of the usual booking sites (orbitz, expedia, qixo, priceline, etc. etc.) and g-t had the best prices for package (flight + hotel) of any i found. as Annie notes, they are not the cheapest for just air fare, but i found none that beat their package prices. in fact, somewhere in my booking procedure, i came across their guarantee that they would beat any available price on packages, but i don't remember exactly where i saw that. (by the way, orbitz was the most unresponsive of all the booking sites.) <BR>good luck.

I've also checked them out and I think perhaps ypu might possibly do a bit better on air hotel packages, but then again maybe not. They are no deal at all on what you are looking for--air and car. Those you can always find on your own.

Nancy I've used go-today.com 3 times and found them to be everything they represent on their web site. IMHO their best deals are to London or Paris. Check out their price from your gateway and compare to everything else independent or package and in most cases(IMHO) go-today will beat it(but not always, so shop)). Also they will let you extend your departure date(from Paris for example)for up to 30 days at no cost, so if you've a mind to you can extend your vacation. They will even book extra hotel nights(at a good rate btw) or let you go it on your own. <BR>Happy Travels, CB
