Transfer times can take their toll

Travel Rants blogger Darren Cronian is lamenting the lack of transfer time details on travel websites. As he points out, Olympic Holidays is one of the few sites to include those little pieces of information that can make or break your holiday.

An estimated time of transfer will do, but none of the travel sites I visited had this information on its website. I loved the look of one apartment in Crete, great reviews, but I found out on a Trip Advisor review that it took three hours to get to the accommodation which I wasn’t prepared to do, he writes

This is a vital detail, since a long and uncomfortable journey to your hotel can really put a dampner on your holiday. Do travel agents always check this when they're booking a package, especially for elderly or disabled people? Have you ever had a disastrous transfer to your accommodation?
