Shouted at over by agent

Recently tried to change flights - asked for a breakdown in costs as in less than 24h the price has gone up over £200.
Agent stated they were unable to provide the breakdown. Asked politely surely they can - agent ended up shouting over the phone. Never booking again with away holidays.

Dear Darsh,

We wanted to apologize for the unpleasant experience you had with our travel agent recently.

Regarding your inquiry about the sudden increase in price, unusual spikes can occur depending on several variables such as airlines changing fares, availability of seats and the time of booking however if you can share the booking reference number with us then can look into the booking and provide you the breakdown

Just made our 6th booking with Away Holidays. Always found them very helpful, this time we dealt with Alex who we found to be extremely efficient in helping us find exactly what we wanted. We had a good idea what we thought we wanted but he helped modify our requests to make the holiday even better. Having compared prices previously Away Holidays always seem to be the best price.

Absolutely brilliant!

Glen was absolutely amazing and helped us find our perfect holiday to Abu Dhabi. Having been messed around by a different travel agency company we spoke to Glen who found us exactly what we wanted for the right price. We received all our travel documents quickly. Thank you so much, Glen! We will definitely be back.
