Hello all,

I am looking for a good travel agent in Pattaya who is linked to a reservation system such as Amadeus and knows what he/she is talking about...

We want to book tickets from Bangkok to Istanbul around New Year (yes, I know it's a bit late...) We could fly Turkish Airlines direct for 70,000 baht for 2, but prefer to go with Emirates for 60,000 for 2 and make a stopover in Dubai.

For some reason, the Emirates website doesn't accept my credit card. So I went to various travel agents in Pattaya and asked them to book exactly the four flight legs as shown on the web page, on which seats are available.

One agent says that the Istanbul-Dubai flight is full, the other says that the Bangkok-Dubai flight is full... they all seem to come up with something else. I mean, how hard is it? Look at the system, reserve the seats and take the cash!

So I was also wondering whether Emirates might have allocated some seats on the plane exclusively for online bookings, or... I just don't know.

Any very good experiences with Pattaya travel agents for booking tickets?

One agent says that the Istanbul-Dubai flight is full, the other says that the Bangkok-Dubai flight is full...

There's your answer unfortunatly, next time do not leave it to late.

If you have not tried them already try Massic Travel ......just up from the Sole Hotel 2nd Road.....Good Luck.
