Australia's International Flights

One of the most complete travel sites I've ever seen, Australian Travel.com.au, offers very interesting and great choice of international flights. Among them, there are different possibilities to undertake Round the World flights, too.

This site presents very clear navigation where you can choose your destination in some seconds if you know where you have to go. Click on Europe, Asia, North America or any other part of the world listed under the main search tool of the site, and you will pass to the page with the departure points. I like this solution. Sometimes, you do not know what airports are serving this or that direction and loose time and money booking the flights that are too far from you. It happened different times to me and that is why I appreciate it so much.

In case you do not know where to go this time, you can find different options on Travel.com.au where banners and photos present most interesting flights of the moment. There are flights on sale, cheap business class flights and other possibilities. What means it for you? It's that you can treat yourself with love: travel in business class at economy price, for example.

Do not forget to control very useful page of Travel Tools where all the useful information you need before you depart is collected. And in case you need help, you can call Travel Experts of the company. Travel.com.au is known for it's excellent client service.

Reggio Emilia in Italy: About the Hotel

When I wrote here about our preparations for a travel in Reggio Emilia, Italy, I promised you to tell about the hotel I booked with Booking.com.You will remember that I was surprised by the excellent client service of this hotel booking company.

We went in Reggio Emilia on Febr. 9 and left it on Feb.10 after we visited the ornithological exhibition organized there. It was the second time we were in this city but we had not possibility to walk there and to visit at least the main streets first time. We had not too much time now, too, but we wanted to have a good relaxation evening.

Our hotel was situated really in the center of the old town and even if we did not know the way to reach it, we arrived there without any problem. There were problems with the parking for our car because there was not place on the little square behind the cloister where the hotel has it's parking. If we would not able to find a place, we had to pay for the parking place. For our fortune, we found enough space for our car even if not in regular spaces but they said us in the reception, there is not problem, we can leave it there.

Next morning, all the square was free! So, all those cars the evening before were not of the hotel's guests!

We came in the hotel when it was just night. The room was warm enough, there was a kitchen with a fridge in the room. My husband was despairing for the TV that he could not turn on. He even went in the reception but they confirmed the fact: the TV does not work.


We decided to go out and enjoy an evening in the Old Town. 




Some days after we turned home, I received a mail from Booking.com where I was asked to write my opinion about the hotel we booked. And some days later that opinion was published Student's Hostel della Ghiara

Excellent Client Service of Booking.com

We have to undertake an other long long travel with our car in Reggio Emilia. This time, I was very determined: we have to go there one day and turn home the other day. I don't know how many km-s are between our town and this city but they are surely more than 500, and it's not clever to guide so much in one day. We were fortunate one time but it'as not a joke. So, I had to book a hotel.


I usually book hotels online. I have not preferences in sense of booking company and book the best offer that suits my desires. Normally, I prefer to have a minimum of comfort: a single room with a bath in it. Breakfasts in the hotels do not  seem good to me, so I prefer to have my breakfast in a bar.
It happened so that  I booked hotels with  Booking.com for my last voyages, and ones I choosed really terrible hotel in Milan. I wrote all I thought about this hotel when I turned home, and the company published my review after they controlled it meticulously.


This time I found a good for us room with Booking.com, too.
We will come in Reggio Emilia very late in the evening, and I was worried because I did not write about it when I booked the room. Sometimes, receptionists do not want to accept you if you come late, you know. It happened to me different times in Milan. So, I wrote "update" to my order just after I received a confirmation mail.

I was so much surprised when an employer from Booking.com called me next day to tell me that they solved my problem, and I can come whenever I want, in the hotel, and there is a place for the car nearby, too. They even sent me a map of the streets of Reggio Emilia with the explanation where the garage of the hotel is!

Never and never, I could expected such a client service from a hotel booking site.
Next time I'll tell you about this hotel.

Where To Next?
