Charter Travel or Ocean Florida

Hi all,

We received quotes from above companies.

What’s people experience of booking with OF? They are £96 cheaper compared to CT.

How flexible are they if we wanting to add DDP or even change hotel?

Thanks

My only experience with them is I found them to be super pushy when I was expressing my concerns over booking with Covid still being around. They hounded me with phone calls whilst we were still debating what to do. I booked with Your Florida Holiday in the end who were much cheaper than OF

I’ve used Charter quite a few years ago and Sean was good but then I asked for a quote for our next trip and I was unhappy on an issue with flights they wouldn’t budge on. I also believe and I could be wrong that you pay via bank transfer rather than a CC which I wouldn’t like. Not used Ocean Florida but have found them pushy in the past when getting quotes and it put me off them. I do DIY now.

you need to read the terms and conditions from each very carefully before you book. They are all weighted in the company's favour.

Whenever we tried to book with OF, they always added extra charges to the "final" price when we went to pay. "Booking fee" was one from memory.

We always use Gary at Dial a Flight now.

Charter Travel totally screwed over some friends of ours last year and there were a number of other on here that reported bad experiences.

I'm also looking at these companies. Can I ask why you wouldn't use OF?
