Gold Trail Holidays to Altinkum

[djfrostie]

Hi Guys!
anybody heard or travelled with Gold Trail Holidays to Turkey imparticularly Altinkum?
we have booked two weeks b&b in September with them through Global Independent travel for �200 each from Bristol! including all suppliments and transfers which has to be good
BUT THE HOTEL PAMUKKALE hasn't been built yet so its all a bit of a gamble! so if anyone has details on Gold Trail,Altinkum,Hotel Pamukkale or freebird airlines (yes it gets scary now) please let me know!

just wondered if you had seen some bad reviews for goldtrail and have you spoke to your travel agent,mine says mud sticks over an incident that happened what are your thoughts ,as i have booked with them.regards henry i have been to altinkum 3 times and had a great holiday there,lots of trips beaches and restaurants.

Thanks Henry, read some good things about Altinkum, however Goldtrail is a bit of a mystery but not read anything good about them! the travel agent says that they have booked 70 clients with goldtrail this year from bristol, however First Choice said don't touch them!
and as for freebird airlines--they haven't even booked their slot at Bristol airport yet-so expecting some changes there then!!!...exciting isn't it!?

Prehaps Freebird Airlines involves you running really fast down the runway and flapping your arms alot? :-k

Good news is that Free Bird Airlines do have planes.

would never book with goldtrail again but can assure you that free bird airlines where ok had no probs with them but i reckon if you are tall you will have a lack of leg room, im only short so this didnt affect me

[djfrostie]

looks like the flight will be ok(ish) Im use to limited leg room I've flown with Cathay Pacific!!
Has anyone anywhere got somthing good to say about Gold trail???????

[kimbo]

sorry no aint got nothing good to say aout them, watch they dont change your hotel at the last minute, but its not to say you wont have a good holiday, we made the best of ours and had a brill time,...happy holidays kim

I have travelled with Gold Trail many years ago. No complaints with that particular holiday.

However, many tourists have complained about their holiday with Gold Trail to Icmeler, Turkey. Generally speaking tourists have complained about accommodation being of low standard or the accommodation being changed at the last minute.

Sounds like a bit of a hit or a miss. However at �200 per person, it is a very good price.

thanks carolg as you say �200 can't really go wrong.....can we??
