Q Why is the price different to when I last checked? Changes may be made to reflect market conditions and currency fluctuations. We are continually renegotiating rates with our suppliers to bring you the cheapest prices possible. Once a booking has been confirmed the price will not change.
Q I've just phoned my hotel and they have no record of my reservation. Why has this happened? We have a guaranteed allotment of rooms every night of the year with our contracted hotels. We only need to inform the hotel of who will be filling those rooms a couple of days in advance. Therefore, if you contact the hotel before this time they will not yet have your name or recognize your booking reference.
Q Are transfers included? Transfers are not included. It is advisable to pre-book your transfers directly online from/to airport to/from hotel.
Q How can your prices be so cheap? Aeolos Cyprus Travel service over 0.5 million customers a year and as a result we have negotiated greatly reduced rates for our clients.
