5. How accurate are the prices on packyourbags.com?
packyourbags.com endeavours to provide as accurate prices as possible. Many tour operators and suppliers 'lead in' prices exclude taxes, luggage allowance and airport transfers. The lead in price can be based on a specific number of people sharing a room. For this reason you may notice a difference between the initial 'lead in' price and the final price payable. Where there is a difference in price we clearly identify what the differences are in the final price breakdown.
