Haggling on live chat

How successful have people been at this? The dates we want are currently a lot higher than we'd have wanted... what can I expect?

Thanks!

Better to do it in store and speak to the manager

Phone calls or face to face are better.

It is unlikely you will get anywhere. You really need to actually speak with them.

How much have you tended to get off on the phone/in-store etc.? Prices seem to be about £300pp more than what we paid this year at the moment! Happy to pay a bit more if they throw in good benefits though...

I asked for a bespoke deal on live chat with virgin last night as they don’t have multi centres of Disney / Universal on their website but kept being given Disney Dolphin for the Disney part, apparently as there’s not much Disney availability in sept/oct 2019 at the moment.
