Used it once. Never again. Not for the service on the plane, though. Just never TC again. No, never again.

If you Google search Travel City Direct reviews you get quite a few come up[msnscared][msnscared]

hi rogtuf,
please can you tell me what it was like, such as leg room, food and what films you had, and was there any children under the age of 9. Why would you not use them again, I await your reply

Hi everyone,
can someone answer a quick question, if I have paid for sunshine upper deck, do I still have to pay for pre-bookable seats. I hope not!
await anyones reply.

On sunshine upper deck you get seats that are about the same seat pitch as a scheduled airline(34") and no kids under 6.

How much extra did you pay for the seats - they say [u]from</u>£129. Also how much for your car?

If you do a search on this site, and other sites, you will get a fair idea of views on TCD.

It is the ethos of the company that many dislike; that said lots of people have had no problems with them.

Hi Robert5988
I have used TC before and had a good flight, I paid £99 which is less than some people were quoted, I must be sitting on the wing! Yes I know that the car is more expensive than others, but I looked about for a cheaper quote, no-one could beat it. I have to go certain times because I work in a school, also I have to consider my son with his exams. thanks again for your reply

I really hope you have done a Google search for TCD reviews and are prepared for the worst and then anything else will be a bonus.

Like Robert said the ethos of the company is terrible and its only when things go wrong that this really comes to light.

Here are a couple of recent reviews they are two of many Im afraid........

"Air Atlanta Europe - Booked through Travel City Direct. Cardiff to Sanford 19 Hr Delay, 2 hours delay returning. Confusion with staffing at Dollar car rental a furthur 3 hrs waiting for a car, out side in the mid afternoon heat! Both companies in my opinion are a joke, having travelled with much smaller (and cheaper) tour operators and airlines, begs the question - whats going wrong? In my opinion, the "technical difficulties" are most probably operational difficulties, a simple lack of aircraft and bad management. All in all most disappointed with Travel City "regret" and Air Atlanta".

"We were amoung the people who have made comments below, flying Manchester to Sanford with a 28 hour delay and returning with a 27 hour delay. We were fortunate enough to stay in 2 lovely hotels but the organisation and lack of information we were given was disgusting. When we eventually got on board to fly to Sanford we were delayed a further hour due to seating difficulties, passengers who had pre booked seats were not sat together and some were even allocated seats that didn't exist! We were sat upstairs with tv screens that were extremely small and blurred. I had a broken seat that wouldn't remain upright much to the annoyance of the young girl behind me. My partner had a seat with a broken table. No wonder there were "technical difficulties" on a plane so old!! The return plane was a slighty better standard. The crew onboard both ways were polite but after all the events and delays we would never fly with them again".
