✈️ Still booking holidays through a website?
Think again.
With the Middle East conflict grounding flights, closing airspace and shutting down major airports, thousands of travellers are stranded with nobody to call but a helpline.
Matrix Networking member Neil Copeland from Travel Counsellors has a different story for his clients:
"This is exactly why booking with a personal travel agent matters. While people who booked online are stuck on hold to a call centre, I've already rebooked my clients and saved them thousands by moving quickly. Travel Counsellors have expanded our crisis team specifically to support situations like this. When things go wrong - and they will - you want someone who knows you, picks up the phone, and gets it sorted."
If you've got a holiday coming up, or you're planning commercial travel, talk to Neil first.
This is Matrix Networking in action - real expertise from real people when it matters most.
