Thomas Cook

We developed a saying on a holiday with Thomas Cook: «We’re not Brazil, we’re Thomas Cook!»
And whilst on a night out for young ones arranged by Thomas Cook, we got dragged around the resort, bar to club to bar to club, free shots at the door, and things happened on that night out which if they made it onto the internet could result in much more trouble than anyone would want. Nevertheless we went to a funfair the day after and I survived not throwing up… but only just…
Thomas Cook do try to go the extra mile, arranging excursions and meetings, sorting out any difficulties and giving us a bit of information about the place we are staying and how to make the most of our journey.
Sadly, every single rep that I have come across has been irritatingly smug and I would love to throw under a bus.
I do like the way Thomas Cook try their best to give you a holiday experience, but sometimes they can throw themselves and their smug little faces into their job so much that they become almost patronising.
Still, at least they make the effort. And for that I cannot really fault them. They aren’t quite Brazil, but at least they are Thomas Cook.

Myself and my girlfriend called into this little city centre travel agent about two years ago in search of a last minute bargain in February, wanting to get away somewhere for good food and plenty of craft beer.
The original plan was New York. Flights from Aer Lingus were affordable and things were looking up. However, closer and closer to pay day the inevitable happened… prices shot up to almost double their original cost.
So, twas time to search the streets for a comparable offer. We called in here hoping for a miracle but alas, none was found. They had three nights in a three star off Times Square, flying direct from Belfast for £1200, pretty pricey considering this is February. The prices in general seem to be a little on the high side, especially if you intend to leave Europe (the Australian off peak was even worse)
We ended up getting a fantastic deal with another agent in the city at a fraction of the cost. My advice is shop around, you never know, this place may have what you’re after.

Although I have never used this branch to book any holidays (I bloody wish!) I find it very handy for exchanging me euros that I have left over from whenever I’m visiting home.
They do a very good exchange rate in the foreign exchange section down the back of the shop.
It’s a very handy service right in the centre of town for anyone who has some foreign currency they need to exchange.
The staff I have dealt with are always really friendly.
