    Excellent Service for a Last Minute Trip!
    Reviewed By Kat - Madison, Wisconsin | Traveled to California ~ USA
    Tricia was able to find an affordable flight for me last minute when I was unable to find anything affordable on line. She also went above and beyond and found me seats that were comfortable given me extra long legs and sent me a weather update before I left so that I'd know what to expect on arrival. It made for a very smooth trip during a situation that was otherwise stressful, requiring travel at the last minute.
    Tricia Veale responded
    "Thank you for your kind review, Kat. I'm glad we were able to find something for you and I look forward to working with you in the future! Tricia"
