Hi Matt,
Following on from Jonah’s question, on page 124 of JY’s new brochure it says that the ‘Private Chauffeur Service is based on travelling from/to one residential address within 100 mile route from a mainland UK departure airport for the main flight (usually Heathrow or Gatwick), regional flight or connecting flight provided in the Flight Inclusive holiday’.
I live just a few miles north of Birmingham and Heathrow is 115 miles from me; likewise Gatwick is 150 miles away. Based on your current T&C’s (£3 per mile over 100 miles - not much if you say it quick!) that would cost me £90 for a return journey from LHR and a whopping £300 if I decided to fly from Gatwick. In short, your chauffeur service is a non-starter for me and would seem to be designed only for those who live in London, the South East and Manchester.
However, I note that, on page 6 of your brochure, you say ‘If you’d prefer to drive to the airport yourself, we can organise free parking for you’ - up to the value of £100 (page 124). Does this option still apply if, like me, you happen to live outside of the 100 mile radius?
Many thanks
Mike
ps I would urge JY to compare their ‘service’ with that offered by Saga & Titan Travel who include a chauffeur transfer to LHR & LGW from any address on the UK mainland. I’ve used it twice and it works pretty well.
