ok now let me share about my 3 wkends of HM package seraching!
Location consider: Eastern Europe/ Greece/ Egypt
Travel length: 10-14D (travel btw 18-31st Oct)
Agency: Chansbrother/ SA/ ASA/ Kong Tai/ CTC/ Dynasty/ Tradewinds
[better join those bigger agency if u are travelling outside Asia ba...more experience, read more forum]
We 1st checked during our travel period are those place at good season to travel. (for us all 3 are ok not too cold/ hot)
But Oct our travel period.. seems like very limited choice for going Eastern Europe.. so out~
Greece and Egypt got a few... not bad...Did some call and make our way down over the past few weekend to get more info... so end up shortlisted Tradewinds, Chanbrothers, SA & Dynasty.
Kong Tai out coz dun have suitable package. Staff is friendly but they say will call me to tell me more about some package but never call back.... :X
CTC out coz read quite few bad comment on website... and anyway they are more experience for China / asia side tour ba...so just leave that out .... did not go to the agency there...no comment on staff.
Dynasty: very friendly staff.. package is overall cheaper but got to be careful coz friend went with them to europe before but alot of optional and other cost... so ask more when u sign with them.. maybe still worth to go with them even with the extra cost coz they have lower package price in the 1st place... They also have interesting package... somehow find their package will be slightly different ... have something unusual compare to other place.. (esp egypt and turkey package)worth considering them....
Chansbrother: went to the head quarter near hong lim .... er... the staff there really so so .. they can talk to you and chat with the next counter while u trying to see what's the package like... er... where's the focus? but then again they still give us the info of what we want... just ask more be more pro active ba... forum also have good comment about them for europe/egypt places.. so after all is the tour guide that's impt... not really the counter staff.. so... we still shortlist them.. Another reason is they actually have one sister branch called Asia Global Vacation @ people's park center. The staff there is so much better!!! they explain alot and also auto tell us what are the promotion and offer and give advise.. v good services

can try there... package is overall good.. not much time waste on travel... but if u choosing europe.. becareful not to choose too many country at a few days.. personally feel 14D go max 3 country good enuff... if too many like 6 countries u lost alot travel time.
SA: Super dislike their services!.... sorry to say.. the reception aunty is lousy.. today I went there.. I saw the Oct package is out on the internet.. so we go down to ask more.. guess what.. the reception say sorry dun have Oct.. pls go to the mega fair at suntec tml... so I asked.. why tml? your already have it on internet.. if I wanna book now also can not? then she just give me the face and then say I am only told to tell your go mega fair.. huh??? then feel so pissed! is her attitude.. so that's how their treat their customer?? then got one staff beside her at the package counter one.. say actually some staff are in the room having briefing and training for tml fair...then ask us maybe come 1hr later to check.. (WHAT???) kinda totally faint there u know... anyway.. we still go back check (cos we have limited travel period and package available.. so bo bian wanna see more)..... after 1hr we did went back.. skip the reception aunty...go to the same counter to ask the agent who tell us to come back 1 hr later (He is not in the trainning room one..he was on duty at the counter since 1hr ago..) he ask how can he help.. so he help us check what we want.. ok we get our info.. (But why we need to wait one hr when he can actually tell us all these things 1hr ago?!?!?!?) ... sorry kinda really totally can't understand HOW they work ....
Anyway package... SA alot of ppl like.. but I dun like... looking at the package.. more travelling time compare to other agency (Europe n egypt package) poor planning I feel...anyway the incident I have already pissed me...
ASA: staff is friendly... but funny.. 3 staff serve us.. 1 is ok normal, 1 is like not listening to us... he is friendly but despite we told him the travel period we MUST have.. he still recomment other timing.. argh.. stupid... then the other one... under F&E dept.. alamak.. like so black face...I ask one thing she check then speak nothing ... like so hard to get her talking... maybe she bad mood?? funny ...
Their package ok.. not too bad.. still can consider ba... coz impt is package and tour guide.. not the counter staff :X
Tradewinds: very friendly, all flight by SQ, everything inclusive...their package is stated in very clear terms I feel... the route also good... only if they have our dates... we will book them!
ok..... after all these weeks.. finally we booked Chanbrothers.. 10D wonder of Greece.. good price good package... just hope got enuff ppl to go ... although is just 10D (depart on 20 Oct) instead of other agency going 13D egypt + Red Sea... we feel paying more to go Red Sea is not a must and if wanna see nice beach might as well go other country like Australia, Greece, US next time
Yeah one more thing settle.. just hope more ppl sign for it

are you all interested?? hee hee
