Funjet Vacations Enhances Travel Stimulus Package to Include New Payment Policy
MILWAUKEE, February 13, 2009 – Funjet Vacations is further enhancing their Travel Stimulus Package with a new payment policy. The policy allows customers to book a bulk scheduled air-inclusive vacation with their travel agent and only pay a $200 per person deposit.* The $200 per person deposit is also available on charter/value flight vacation packages.
Funjet will continue to ticket travelers immediately upon deposit, locking in the ticket price to avoid increases and protecting customers under airline policies in case of schedule changes.
“We’re happy to take the upfront risk of ticketing customers upon deposit because it is part of our commitment to provide an exemplary end-to-end customer experience,” says Mike Going, President of Funjet Vacations.
Funjet introduced the Travel Stimulus Package in November 2008. The goal of the package is to give travel agents the ability to make it easier for their customers to book a vacation package without a significant investment up front.
Consumers can contact their preferred travel agent to take advantage of Funjet’s enhanced Travel Stimulus Package and deposit policy.
