The joy of flex
Now, I could make a whole load of vaguely sexual puns involving flexible travel, but I think we’re all just beyond that, right? Hmm. Well, if you like your travel itinerary to be more bendy than a yoga-practicing air hostess with a taste for the mile high club (sorry), you might want to check out some of the word of mouth about STA Travel’s flexible offerings on the net.
Cath Collings gives STA Travel a big thumbs up on her blog about her upcoming Russian trip:
That’s the word I’d use to describe STA…flexible! We booked our flights to Russia for the four of us through the STA website cos that was the cheapest we found and also it’s easy to search for flights that go to one place and come back from another which is a nightmare on some websites.
Whilst Tim Thompson of Vapour Trails has also found them good for round-world planning:
The great thing about the RTW ticket I’ve got (and thanks again to the team at STA Travel for this - and no I’m not on commission :>) is that I can very easily change the flights on the ticket and get straight home from most major airports in Asia.
Anyone else had a particularly good or bad experience with booking flexible flights? Are you a big fan of flex or do you prefer a comforting bit of pre-booked structure? Send me your links, you loose-limbed lovelies.
