RE: UKNM: Fashion sector - e-commerce

[Leslie Bunder]

A year or so ago while looking at the Eurostar site it was speaking of

summer specials and this was October!


It doesn't exactly inspire confidence when sites like this are poor.

What is the consumer to think if the site is out of date with basic

facts, are the prices also likley to be out of date!


I tend to use travel sites like expedia, airnet and thomas cook in

association with Trailfinder on the phone.  And surprise, surprise, I've

yet to find an online booking cheaper than what I can get with

Trailfinders.  (Mind you I only travel to the US - so can't compare with

other destinations)
