What's New

What’s New?

After having a successful summer during 2009 we felt the time was right to bring in new technology and offer new features to our clients. First thing you will notice with the new Go-There.co.uk site is a new look. We wanted to create a new and refreshing website which is easy for you to navigate.

It is of course, not just a new look we have but a whole new booking engine as well as new features. Before, when searching for a holiday you would be offered the option to select a flight and then hotel. Now you are offered a flight and hotel at the same time. The cheapest option are displayed first and there is a link for you to select other flights if the original one is no appropriate and there are other flights.

We have also added new information which includes a google map so you see where your hotel is located, the weather for your chosen destination and a brief destination guide. There is also a brand new review section where you or other customers can add a review about a hotel or destination to help people choose the right hotel.

Clients will now have the option to book flight meals as well as travel insurance. We have also added package holidays and ski holidays which can be booked online as well as the popular Flight & Hotel search.

The difference between the Flight & Hotel search compared to the package holiday is that a package holiday is with a company like Thomas Cook, Thomson’s, Libra etc. When you book a Flight & Hotel holiday, the actual elements (Elements being flight and hotel) are booked directly and separately despite you seeing one price and only clicking one book now button. This is known in the trade as Dynamic packaging and it is a quick option instead of booking the flight first and then booking a hotel second. You will be booking both at the same time. There is still an in-resort agent and the holiday is ATOL protect along with us being ABTA protected so you get same protection if you booked a package holiday with Thomas cook or Thomson’s. The Flight & Hotel search will also work out cheaper 95% of the time as you are cutting out the middle man and that person is the operator themselves.

Unlike before infants are bookable online and a cot can be requested while booking. You also still get a choice of a Car Hire or transfer if you require these.
Another new feature is the ‘Manage my booking’ section. When you have booked, you will be able to login, view your booking, request an amendment and pay for your account if you have only paid a deposit.

We are still taking bookings in USD ($) and Euro (€) how ever due to the continuous change in currency, we can now only allow payment in full at the time of booking. If you pay GBP (£) you can pay a deposit.

We hope you enjoy our new website and if you need any help at all, then please do not hesitate in phoning us on 0845 430 2004.

The Go-There team.
