No timers, no counters, nothing invented
What is genuinely open right now, and how to reserve an open line with a Washington DC travel agent
This page carries entries only when an operating company has confirmed something specific to this office in writing. There is no countdown on it, no count of places remaining, and no claim that anything is about to close.
Reserve this with the officeNothing is charged here. The form stays open at any hour and a person writes back inside one working day.
Standing right now
Nothing. No operating company has given this office a confirmed entry for the current period, so the page says nothing rather than inventing one. When an entry does appear here it will name the segment or the line, the exact weeks it covers, the figure, the company that has undertaken it, and the date the undertaking was given. An entry with any of those missing is not an entry and will not be printed.
Four things checked before anything goes up
That a named operating company has put it in writing to this office. That the weeks are specific dates rather than a season. That the figure is one a traveller can actually be invoiced, not a headline with conditions unstated. And that the entry can be described without any comparison to what anything else costs, because a claim that something is cheaper or better value is one this office will not make.
Why this page is usually empty
Because it is honest, and because the catalogue is small. Six lines and thirteen segments do not generate a steady supply of confirmed offers, and a page that always has something on it is usually a page where something has been made up. If you would rather be told when an entry appears, say so in the form and the office will write once, when there is something to write about.
Reserve one segment, or a whole line
This form is open at any hour, and whatever reaches it is read by a person who answers inside one working day. Nothing you send commits you, and no figure is charged at this end at any point.
