That caused naturally big head-shaking in the German travel industry about the allegedly “amazing result” of the tests, so the Association in his press statement. “ComputerBild” responded to the allegations and looks more or less the error. The price turned out to be now be wrong: against the travel agency flight and transfer are missing. The total price in this travel agency instead was 3.817 euro with flight and transfer.

“Reducing the price advantage compared to the cheapest price with ISP Lastminute.de (4.372 euro, organizer JT tourism) from 1,540 euros to 555”. The “massive package critique” pages of the VIR rejects “ComputerBild” however. These errors can now undermined each editorial. The Consolidators, both online as also as stationary travel agencies are trade representatives of tour operators, is many but also known. Also “Computer Bild” talks about in her review. Therefore the prices are set by the respective travel agent and not by the travel agency (In the test no current combined modules, were considered according to report so-called dynamic packages). Therefore, there should be no price differences in the respective travel agencies (online as offline) thus while same conditions (same operator). However, it is interesting that just this serious price difference was made the lead story in the test report. The editors trusted blind about the offer, without checking the price might be against?

In the opinion, “ComputerBild” catches up with a new offer of the stationary travel agencies and now provides a price difference between lastminute.

Vacations

Friday, March 20th, 2015

Thus, the issue has been resolved – only Italy and Italy. But going to another country if all you know about it? You might say, especially the tourist to know anything, do not tell all the excursions … And when the guide will not be next …? So, a couple of small things which will help save time and money, regardless of what you have chosen holiday Sicily or Rome with the Colosseum. 1) Choosing a restaurant where dinner and lunch do not waste your time looking for a cheap hotel: prices in all of them about the same, although, naturally, in the heart of the city or the most "peak" tourist sites – the highest price, but on the outskirts of the city would be cheaper. But do not compare to the restaurant menus of the same street … If it is absolutely critical to save, go to the 'McDonald's', 'Burger King' or any bar in the vicinity, there are usually sold pizza slices and hot rolls with different fillings. 2) The Russians are very fond of the notorious 'buffet', which is in hotels.

If you fall into this category, you have to get up early, which means at least an hour before the breakfast, because if you come to an end, you can catch a crumb … and then, not always … 3) Seeing drinks, standing at the bar rooms of the hotel, uymite enthusiasm – usually drinks at the bar are not included in the price, which means that everything you eat or drink from the bar (from the fridge) you will be put in a separate account when leaving the hotel. All the same applies to telephone conversations. The only calls "included in the cost of hotel" – inside the hotel between rooms. Everything else for a fee. Remember these simple rules – nothing complicated, but then can be very useful. In any case, the reception is always possible to specify all. Do not be afraid to ask for the people there and work to help or give information.
