Andrew at Budget travel - fantastic

I want to extend my sincere thanks to Andrew Buckley for his incredible support in arranging my holiday. Unfortunately, there was a booking issue and we were double-booked, which caused a great deal of distress—especially as I was traveling with my son, who has autism. At check-in, I was told the fault lay with the travel agent, and I was understandably very upset.

Andrew remained calm and composed throughout, even while speaking to both me and Icelandair at the same time. He did everything he could to try and get us on a flight that day. Although we did lose a day of our trip, we eventually managed to have a wonderful holiday.

Andrew followed up with me afterward and sent links to help me file a formal complaint with the airline, which led to compensation. I feel quite guilty about how I reacted during the stressful situation, but Andrew handled it with professionalism, empathy, and grace. He was incredibly apologetic and supportive throughout the ordeal.

Thank you, Andrew, for everything you did. Your kindness and dedication made a difficult experience much more bearable.

Hi Paula

Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words about Andrew. We understand that travelling can be stressful at the best of times and when things dont go according to plan it can be very upsetting, however thats what Andrew is here for, to support and assist you throughout your whole journey and not just for the initial sale.

Andrew is delighted to read your fantastic review and will look forward to helping you with your travel plans in the near future.

Booking online and having to pay for seats wasn't explained to me, and it was impossible to get through on the phone.

Hi Conor,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback.

Airlines will charge separately for seats, most only offer a limited amount of free seating for children per flight and any other passenger will have to pay for their seats. Seating for adults is therefore an optional extra paid to the airline, not included in the package total.

If you have any more queries please contact us at retailadmin@budgettravel.ie and the team would be happy to help!

Best regards,
Budget Travel
