Very simple & efficient
From first enquiry to booking was smooth & very easy. Tracy coped with a change of dates & came back very quickly with a revised plan.She answered all my questions was eager to help Thank you
Excellent!
I initially phoned to look at a trip to America and Canada - I spoke to Megan, she was FANTASTIC! She looked at all different options for me and tweaked the itinerary a couple of times so we got the best route, hotel and options for our trip.
Can highly recommend and very much looking forward to our holiday! 🤠🍁
Virgin cruise
Is was great to have Ali go through everything with us from start to finish with every little detail that we needed.
She gave us advice without a hard sell and made the whole booking process from start to finish easy.

High Quality Service, 12 happy ladies
The lady Amanda who looked after out booking was very friendly and informative. Our booking was for a large group of 12 people and we also requested several quotes which was timely for Amanda but she was very patient and happy to oblige. We were able to make our final decision and Amanda efficiently complete our booking. I would be happy to recommend to a friend based on the service we received.

Ashling was amazing
Ashling was amazing. She researched holidays for us based on our preferences and budget etc and came back with some great options. Absolute pleasure to deal with and she clearly knows what she’s talking about. A credit to American Holidays. We’re all booked now thanks to Ashling.
Very Disappointing Experience – Still No Refund for Paid Upgrade
I booked a trip through American Holidays and paid £900 for a Premium Economy upgrade one week before travelling on 18 January. Due to major connecting flight issues with American Airlines, we were downgraded to the main cabin through no fault of our own.
Since returning, I have repeatedly tried to get clarity on the refund for the upgrade. While the payment was taken immediately, the follow‑up support has been extremely poor. Emails have gone unanswered for long periods, and the level of communication has been minimal.
I understand that American Airlines ultimately sold our upgraded seats, but as the travel agent who processed the booking and took the payment, I expected American Holidays to take ownership and actively support the refund process. Instead, it feels like I’ve been left to chase this on my own.
Over a month later, I still don’t have a refund, a timeline, or clear confirmation of what action—if any—has been taken on my behalf. The lack of urgency and customer care has been hugely disappointing, and it has made me question whether I would ever book with American Holidays again.
Customers deserve better support, especially when issues arise that are outside their control.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Diane Williams for booking my trip to the states. I had previously intended to book last year with her but had to postpone. I had no hesitation contacting Diane again for this trip due to how friendly and professional she was first time around. Diane is extremely good at her job and responds to all correspondents in a prompt manner. She couldn't have found better hotels and flight times if i had asked her to. All round a 5star experience and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her for your travel requirements. Great Job Diane, keep up the great work
