So this is my story of the day....
My boss has been liaising with her travel agent "Ruth" on the Gold Coast. My boss is hoping to stay at the W in Seminyak next March. "Ruth" has already quoted my boss - direct flights to Bali flying from Brisbane with Air Asia. I say to my boss, "hang on a minute, Air Asia doesn't fly direct to Bali from Brisabme"! Boss says to me "well, that was what Ruth has quoted me". Now, wait for it!!! I've then forwarded my boss the Garudas sales fares advert (that was emailed to me) & I told her to book with Garuda. She rings "trusty" Ruth (who I'm told is "a great Travel Agent and has been working in the industry for many years & is reputable on the Gold Coast") - and Ruth tells her "I'm not booking you with Garuda, they're going in to liquidation and you'll lose your money"! WTF! I've jumped on the phone, rung Flight Centre & talk to the management there - they know nothing about any of this, then I ring Garudas Management Centre in Brisbane and they assured me that there is nothing of the sort going on.
This is the most bizarre thing I've heard all day! Surely not.....
It'd be like Qantas going in to liquidation.
Has anyone else heard any rumors- or is "trusty" Ruth up to no good??
