When it comes to arranging school trips, one of the most time consuming aspects of the trip is often the making of arrangements for the coach, ferry and possibly train journeys.
And that is before one starts to contemplate the trip itself with the possibilities of a rough crossing over the English Channel or North Sea.
Indeed even when the arrangements have been made there is always the worry that the connections might fail to materialise thus leaving many students stranded.
There is however an alternative – an alternative that offers the avoidance totally of these numerous inter-connecting parts of the journey.
Such an alternative approach not only involves a much simpler journey it also involves one person processing everything from the initial enquiry through to the production of tickets, making this a singularly smooth and stress free transaction.
This alternative approach also reduces travelling time considerably by using air flights to the destination of your choice, all booked via GTC Travel Group.
Given that it is normally possible to fly from an airport near to the school to an airport close to the final destination, such arrangements can add up to three more days spent in the desired destination.
What’s more, you may be surprised to find that the cost of the flights can be less expensive than travel by conventional methods as bulk buying by the school can push down airline prices.
Additionally you have the option of choosing the hotel that is right for you and your students rather than one selected by the tour operator. You can choose the price range, and you can choose a hotel near the airport or within the city or region that is your final destination.
At GTC Travel Group we understand the importance of meeting the exact needs of your individual group, and so we will offer you the best advice to make your journey as stress free as possible.
Better still, our reservation technology enables us to give you the most up-to-date travel options, all the time. We book and issue our own tickets enabling us to keep full control of your booking and ensure your journey meets your needs.
What’s more, as we are ABTA and ATOL holders you can be assured that you and your students are fully protected (as recommended by the Health and Safety Executive for schools) should the airline fail.
Because we have so many locations to and from which we can fly, the best way to explore the possibilities is to either call one of our specialist group reservation advisors on 020 8429 2900 or email us at groups@gtctravelgroup.com with the details of your requirements.
You can also go to our website for more information.
Either way we’ll come back to you with our suggestions and prices. You’ll be surprised how much time can be saved and how low group air fares can be.
