Terrible service - rather do your own bookings!

My parents went to Flight Centre in Randridge Mall and were provided a quote for R18 000,00 for a trip to Cape Town. The quote was accepted and my parents said they would go in and pay the amount the next day, as they had to withdraw the cash, which was agreed to by the staff.

The following morning at 09h00 they went to Flight Centre with the money but were told they must now pay and extra R4000,00 for breakfasts yet breakfasts were INCLUDED in the quote! (Flight Centre - a quote is a statement of the price at which a business will supply goods or services. When your quote is accepted, you have formed a contract.)

My parents said this was unacceptable and that they will be taking this further.

The next day they are told that the breakfast is included - but they must now pay and extra R1000,00 for the flights!

This is either incompetence or blatant misrepresentation.
