@messedupfoods Employers should pay their staff a living wage.
If you Google “gratuity” it clearly says “a voluntary financial reward for good service” and “a gift of money provided freely” it doesn’t say “obligated amount due even if service is mediocre at best”

@TheRAC_UK in what world is it ethical to charge £97 for a two mile tow?

[Paul Sharp - Travel Counsellors @PaulsharpTC]

@TurkishAirlines when will your availability be in the GDS for April 2026, specifically Galileo

@SeanM1997 Sad to say but as a travel agent they are a super unreliable option. All the big noise about new routes and so many get canned before launch or very soon after

[Paul Sharp - Travel Counsellors @PaulsharpTC]

@SeanM1997 Try and ignore it. As a travel agent I find your posts really useful and accurate and in most cases earlier than things are either in the travel press or GDS so I appreciate it. Thank you

@JaneGaddie @SimonCalder My advice as a travel professional would be to rely on what the FCDO says.
Presently there is no advice not to travel so if you cancel your plans it would be considered disinclination to travel and you would not be entitled for refunds. Your travel agent will advise you

Thanks to the amazing WiFi on @British_Airways I can recognise the amazing service from Neil and his team on BA256 DEL-LHR while flying over the Himalayas eating scallops. Such a fab experience today. Thank you all

[Paul Sharp - Travel Counsellors @PaulsharpTC]

@lottiecgross Yes. It suits you!

@BikeyMcBikeface @airlivenet Maybe these were people going home?

@ClareBreedon Hi Clare
I’m an independent travel agent, I would be very happy to help if you needed any assistance!
Best wishes
Paul

@AndyB73 @SeanM1997 As a hub connecting to other cities, most definitely

@KLM Hi. I need some help offloading a passenger due to an invol flight change and I cannot reissue the tickets as they are showing as checked in

[Paul Sharp - Travel Counsellors @PaulsharpTC]

@fliceverett A brilliant one I would say! 👍🏻

@grantshapps @TheSun @AArmstrong_says Oh Grant. I’m a self employed travel agent. A sole trader. You absolutely shafted people like me during Covid. You’ve a short memory

[Paul Sharp - Travel Counsellors @PaulsharpTC]

@ilovenostalgia Absolutely. Regularly pulled the tobacco out of my cigarette with those 😂😂

Rail strike from 24th till 27th is just mean. Plenty of working people can only head home on Christmas Eve.
V poor move by RMT.

@grantshapps There were lots of brilliant travel businesses with bright futures and deserving owners and employees. What did you do for them? #loathesome

@lufthansa I’m trying to preselect some seats on a ticketed PNR and it’s failing on both the GDS and on your website. Any advice please?

[Paul Sharp - Travel Counsellors @PaulsharpTC]

@JaneyB_B Thank goodness there’s still Ken Bruce and Liza Tarbuck
