Have you put STA Travel’s flexible travelling to the test?
The forums seem to buzzing at the moment with spontaneous types who want a big dollop of flexibility with their travel plans, and STA Travel are often recommended for their flexible itineraries - but we’d like to hear if you’ve put that reputation to the test.
In Football365 Forum, SuzyQ is travelling alone for the first time and wants help in planning her journey. Dropped the bat recommends that ‘STA travel…is flexible so that you can change dates for a small admin fee if you decide to stay somewhere longer’ and spare_goal agrees that
I got an open ticket for a year to rio and back from buenos aires for about 500 quid using the youth thing at sta travel. You can then plan your travel and what you do when you’re there, because whatever you plan now, I guarantee it will change once you’re actually there
In Lonely Planet forums, oceanhighs is soon off to Thailand but has found that ‘my dates are extremely flexible, so its frustrating punching in all of these dates to see if I can find a cheap flight in these search systems’. Isobel has found STA ‘very flexible’ and yasmira agrees that:
I’d like to second STA travel. I planned my trip for two years and had checked multiple websites each day for months for the lowest available fare. The day I walked into STA they found me a better date for $100 less than the best fare I’d found on my own. In other words, I was no newbie to the fare search and they did good.
So far, so good - but it would be great to hear more details from anyone who’s had to alter their plans mid-trip. How easy did you really find it to be?
