I booked for 5 adults, travelling in July 2004. I paid $6,000 at the time of booking (I would only have about $2000 left to pay which was due at the end of April). I made this booking in Feb. After 1 week the flight centre people called me and said it would be more because "the cheap flights were already sold out". Ok. I gave them another $500. Then within 1 week of that (early March), they changed the rules again and wanted full payment before the middle of March. In fact they kept ringing me demanding payment. They rang me at work, they rang me at home, they rang me on my mobile. We went in and saw them and they gave us some tripe about the "supplier" demanding the fare in full. Luckily one of "us 5" was a lawyer, and pointed out that the date for payment was not till April.
A flurry of calls ensued. We still had to pay extra, but now take great delight in "badmouthing" flight centre at every opportunity!
sorry I am a bit "off" today.....just lost a son
