Trivial to some, highly annoying to others, these are the ten things that annoy me about booking online – maybe a few travel companies and airlines reading this blog can explain the reasoning behind some of these annoyances.
Ten things that annoy me about booking holidays online
Here goes:• Brain washing me into booking a hotel or car hire when I just want a flight ticket
• Default ticked boxes for travel insurance
• Letting me search for a period when the airline doesn’t bloody fly there
• Entering a search criteria to go back and find it’s disappeared
• Having to search ABTA, ATOL etc rather than the logo clicking through to the members page
• Links through to late deals from £100 which really cost £300
• Not being able to search for a holiday for one person
• Not asking if any of the party are disabled
• Slow websites, flashing banners, and no help or support pages
• Holiday search switched off after midnight
Travel companies like First Choice, Teletext Holidays and Cheapflights visit this blog to read travel consumer experiences so this is another opportunity for you to have your say about what needs to be improved to enable you to have a positive experience when booking your holiday online.
