44 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG!
Founded in 1974 by the Widdowson family, Major Travel was created to serve the needs of travel agents. Whilst the company has grown to become a significant wholesaler in the travel industry the core family values upon which the business was established upon still remain at the heart of the company's culture and ethos. At the core of our values is quality of service. Whilst pricing product diversity and technology are all important they become redundant in the absence of outstanding service. So, whilst we have unbeatable pricing, a diverse product offering and the best technology in our sector, you can be sure that you will always get the same personal attention that you have enjoyed for over 40 years!

We recently used Major Travel for the first time and were hugely impressed with the service we received, not only were the prices highly competitive, but the service from your staff was second to none. We will most definitely use you again and would highly recommend you to our hays travel colleagues. It makes such a pleasant change to deal with people whom really know that they are talking about and who are passionate about what they do.

We recently made a reservation with you for the first time with your colleague Ramona. I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it was to deal with Ramona during the reservations process. She was extremely helpful, had a great attitude and really knew what she was talking about. Based on this very positive experience with your organisation we will have no hesitation in using you again in the future. Please pass on our grateful thanks and appreciation to Ramona for a great job really well done.

Having dealt with Major Travel for many years now, I have to say that it is always a pleasure to deal with such a professional & dedicated team. Although we no longer make many calls to the reservations team (we prefer to self-book or use the new web site where possible), all departments are most worthy of the highest praise possible. Well done everyone!

I would just like to pass on my thanks to both Chaya and Ami for all their help with my bookings. I know Chaya came in on Saturday which was her day off to help sort the booking - she has been brilliant sorting this out for me making sure confirmations and vouchers are sent promptly to me.

We have had a complaint in Swindon branch about a holiday booked through Major, partly against us and partly against them. Major (and in particular Mary Arpino the Sales & Marketing Director) have been absolutely fantastic, making the customer a very fair offer but more importantly keeping our branch in the loop, liaising with the branch manager about their findings before drafting anything up to the customer and checking that their response looks ok with us first – very unusual but great stuff. The customer is looking for any excuse to take their complaint further and I am absolutely certain that Major’s professionalism has prevented the customer having ammunition to redirect the complaint against us (unlike the usual tour operator response: blame your travel agent!)

I just wanted to say thank you for all the extra work you did with my cricket tour group to South Africa in January. I met with some of the group recently and they reported that everything you/we arranged for them went very smoothly and that they were very pleased with the arrangements. So much so that they are thinking of doing a similar trip in early 2017. Thank you again for all your help.

The prices on the system were really good and beat all the other operators which was really helpfull to confirm for the customer. We have received all the relevant paperwork and confirmation from yourselves really quickly also which was good so that we could forward all the relevant details to the customer.

Id certainly recommend Major Travel, I rang reservations because I needed to hold a flight seat for a customer, I was greeted professionally and very friendly I held the seat and later called back to confirm it, it was emailed the invoice and e ticket immediately, it was a breath of fresh air to be able to obtain all the documents without continuous phone calls and hassle, I would also like to advise that the feed into isell is excellent and the rates are very competitive.
