What each tier is good and bad at

Tier	Good at	Bad at
One company	One contract, one rule, one number to ring. The safest thing on this site	You could often book it yourself, and on this tier we will tell you so
Two companies	Less costly than a bundle and far more flexible: one half can change without losing the other	The join between them belongs to nobody but you, unless somebody checks it
Three companies	Real range without real fragility. The tier most of this office's work sits in	Cancelling produces three answers, and reading three schedules is a job
Four or more	Trips that cannot be assembled from here without help. Where an agency earns its keep	Every extra contract is another thing that can move, and the joins compound

Ask about this tier

Your name it has to match the passport later, so give the full one

Where the figure goes used for that and nothing else

Telephone, if you prefer rung only if writing cannot settle it

How much joining up you want us to do this is the question that changes the shortlist

Charged nothing, not for the figure nor for any of the work behind it
Committed nothing on either side, and that holds after the figure lands too
Card fields here zero, on this page and on every other one

These boxes are checked here in the browser before anything moves, and that check is switched off, so the button is too. Send the same details as an ordinary mail to enquiries@travelundercost.com and they land in the identical place. Six lines do it: who you are, the address to answer, an approximate month, everybody coming plus the age of anybody under eighteen, and a ceiling you would rather stay beneath. The telephone works too, +1 (304) 346-2140, whenever somebody is here: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 9 am to 5:30 pm, Wed to 7 pm Eastern.

Every box above has its own entry on the privacy page, saying where it goes and for how long. The terms set out what binds whom, which before a booking is nobody.
