Officially going to Spain!
Montreal - Spain from May 5th to May 22nd on Air Transat.
I booked with voyagesarabais.com. These guys offer pretty low airfares and, as much as I know, they offer a good service.
They are from Trois-Rivières, Quebec and they are doing an awesome job to be the leader in Quebec’s tourism industry. I’m not paid to say that. ; )
My previous post about usability is, among others, “dedicated” to this company. They have cheap airfares and packages but it is soooo frustrating to navigate on their website. They use the engine from Softvoyage which is, by far, a leader in usability problems. Even this morning I had to manage with other problems like the fact that when we change the departure date, it modifies automatically the return date even if I’ve already changed the return date myself. It’s nothing big but it’s annoying.
Also, I wonder if voyagesarabais.com knows how much it will help them to optimize their website for search engines. It would surely bring more traffic… and sales!
P.S. How come I live so far from Europe!? Each time I have to pay “too much” for plane tickets!
Hi Mathieu
Have just returned from the AITO ( association of Independent Tour operators)domestic conference held over the Week-end at Warwick. As The Overseas conference is being held in June in Seville, The Andalucian Tourist Board did a small presentation including a fantastic Flamenco floor show at the conference to whet our appetites.
They also provided me with a Box of 10 DVD’s, so look out for some great film footage appearing on our blog shortly at http://www.selectworld.travel
Thanks Lee. I’m really excited about going to Spain. Actually we plan to go to Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Grenada, Toledo and Malaga. Do you have some other suggestions?
Let me know when you post the videos. ; )
