1.165 - 3.455

Hello is this Lux

3.944 - 5.953

Travel Industries speaking

6.325 - 6.557

6.596 - 11.650

Yes, hello this is I'm <PII>Jonathan</PII> speaking .I'm your spokesperson for the day. How can I help you, sir?

11.509 - 11.746

12.076 - 13.910

Hello <PII>Jonathan</PII> how are you doing?

14.391 - 14.618

14.541 - 15.759

I'm good. And yourself?

16.335 - 25.077

I'm doing good and I having [noise] quick question for you [filler] you know the kids are growing up and I think it's time to do a little bit more of a

18.667 - 18.812

24.963 - 25.097

25.768 - 27.888

bigger slash longer trip.

27.879 - 28.370

28.472 - 32.262

And I was wondering what options you guys have for us.

32.371 - 32.673

33.011 - 42.615

Excellent. Are you [filler] [noise] wanting to travel with us in the winter, in the summer, in in spring, in fall? [noise] Any season that you you you you'd rather travel in, sir?

33.387 - 33.475

34.069 - 34.286

38.131 - 38.438

41.573 - 41.786

42.820 - 45.402

Well, it probably has to align with [noise] school holidays.

45.426 - 45.661

45.779 - 52.878

Okay, school holidays. So you're probably looking at some summer months, some nice, hot, with beaches, [filler] locations, right?

53.719 - 55.370

Yeah, could be, definitely. [noise]

54.945 - 55.390

work it

55.573 - 56.426

56.746 - 61.612

[filler] Well, obviously, we've got loads of locations on offer here at Lux Travel Agencies.

61.606 - 62.060

62.103 - 70.275

[filler] We have our more premium venues, [filler] which obviously obviously are a bit more expensive, as you can imagine, as such as Maldives, [noise] the Seychelles,

68.858 - 69.700

70.727 - 84.483

[filler] St. Lucia, [noise] [filler] Bermuda Barbados. Then you've got your sort of mid-level [filler] venues, such as the Greek islands, (()) Greek islands, [filler] Cyprus,

71.027 - 71.647

84.867 - 89.709

[filler] Sardinia, [filler] the French coast, the Amalfi coast many you've got your sort of

90.406 - 99.941

[noise] [filler] budget [filler] venues, which are obviously a bit cheaper, which are like Lanzarote, so the Canaries, the Azores, Madera, the Algarve, the South of Portugal, the South of Spain.

90.655 - 91.203

100.430 - 106.712

So these are the sort of [filler] different categories you have. You have the basic then the medium ones, and then the premium ones.

107.355 - 108.426

Okay, we

107.364 - 118.802

Oh I I'm I'm unaware of your budget requirements, so if you could just [filler] is sort of in a put me in line with your budgetary requirements, I'll tell you [filler] some quick examples here for you, sir.

111.409 - 111.903

yeah.

119.283 - 122.155

Yeah, well, essentially [filler] the

122.879 - 124.358

you know my wife and I,

125.131 - 136.336

we we're well off. We're not millionaires, but we do both work, we're jobs, each of us makes six figures, and we haven't had a trip in a while. So you know

128.758 - 129.143

137.066 - 147.442

I would definitely, I wouldn't say I would go for it, but I would like to consider at least the more expensive options. Did you mention South of Portugal? Is that what you said before?

143.538 - 143.965

[filler]

146.263 - 146.554

147.542 - 154.162

[filler] That was an option. That is one of the more basic packages we offer here at Luxe Agencies. Yes, yes, we do offer South of Portugal. [noise] yeah

153.741 - 154.031

154.086 - 163.674

Yeah, because I you know way the company that I work for, there's this this lady in my department that she went a few months ago with her children, and she said it was absolutely lovely.

164.056 - 165.911

[filler] Have you personally been there?

164.133 - 164.764

okay

166.532 - 172.050

[filler] [noise] I have. So [filler] here at [noise] my company at Luxe, we have sort of a

169.341 - 169.877

172.461 - 179.930

company, [filler] not just a one week [noise] off where everyone goes to a place, and [filler] three not three or four years ago, I can't remember exactly the year,

179.887 - 180.342

180.372 - 193.514

and we went to [filler] [noise] to Faro, so the South of Portugal, and we had lovely time, lovely weather, lovely food. I really enjoyed it. I really I must say it's a very nice place, but if you're looking for something more exclusive, you know

193.721 - 200.377

less ubiquitous, something more bougie, probably not not the place to look for, but never nevertheless, I I I had a very good time,

200.996 - 203.056

and the [noise] I do recommend for a more

203.758 - 206.841

inline [filler] travel travels [noise]

205.675 - 206.120

Okay.

206.758 - 208.752

Okay, sounds good. And, [filler]

209.197 - 209.413

209.449 - 212.217

you know, we're currently the based here in [filler]

212.854 - 215.306

in New York, in the <initial>US</initial>. [filler]

213.922 - 215.119

in New York okay.

216.256 - 228.383

In this it's a it's a (()) I'm not I'm not very aware of, you know, we we travel most in the United States. How how long is the flight? Is it okay for the kids? Do they have to go business class as well? What's your opinion on that?

216.721 - 217.056

[filler]

220.348 - 221.592

Yeah [laugh]

227.513 - 228.056

228.586 - 234.235

So [filler] you're, this is sorry, the South of Portugal, you're asking to go to Portugal? Oh, okay.

232.835 - 234.269

Yeah yeah(()) if good

234.203 - 234.626

234.893 - 241.181

yeah So unfortunately, because it's a small airport in the South of Portugal, you would have to do a sort of a quick [filler]

241.622 - 244.169

[noise] connection flight in the capital, [filler] Lisbon.

244.244 - 244.616

244.717 - 250.103

[filler] If you're flying from, I think, <initial>JFK</initial> , you said this is your newest airport or New York? they are(())

249.680 - 250.893

Yeah yeah (()) <initial>JFK</initial>

250.953 - 252.709

<initial>JFK</initial> , if you're flying from <initial>JFK</initial>

252.699 - 253.066

253.157 - 266.855

you're probably looking at around eight, nine hours [filler] flight to Lisbon. And then it's a very quick [filler] [noise] connection, sort of, then an hour, forty five minutes down to the South. And it's only because the airport out the South is a bit smaller for the big sort of continental jets.

267.475 - 268.081

[noise] so

268.942 - 278.298

adding the both flags together, plus the connection, if you're lucky, between one and two hours, it will be, you know, I'm not going to sugarcoat it, twelve hours, twelve hours sort of in in the old airplanes.

278.716 - 280.689

I don't know how old are your children? Sorry, may I ask?

278.891 - 279.240

281.216 - 283.694

Well, one is eight, the other is eleven

283.418 - 283.653

284.177 - 284.329

284.367 - 290.451

Eight and a half. Okay. I mean, [filler] we do obviously offer both business and economic [filler]

290.894 - 291.014

291.045 - 292.697

packages within the, within the airplane.

293.192 - 306.155

[filler] They both have in-flight entertainment. So your children will be able to watch, you know, the newest Marvel movie, the Matrix, [filler] the Walking Dead, you know, they will be able to watch all the all the new movies in and in series, of course.

306.229 - 308.537

So don't worry about the entertainment, they'll be entertained.

308.569 - 308.963

309.076 - 309.468

Okay.

309.232 - 313.442

[filler] It it is rather long, you know, I can't sugarcoat it to you, twelve hours, but [filler]

313.639 - 313.766

314.007 - 327.581

from the <initial>US</initial> [filler] , we have many American customers here with us at Lux Travel Agencies. Recently, we had [filler] [noise] Jamie Diamond, I mean, he's an American man in the finance finance industry, and he traveled with us actually with Lux. Well, he traveled,

327.824 - 341.584

we used our company, Lux, and he went to Bermuda. I mean, he even wrote a review, which was for us, you know, you can imagine Jamie Diamond writing a review [laugh] for any company, we were over the name, you know. [noise] And I was the broker, I was the broker for when he called us, and I was,

336.406 - 337.216

Yeah very good

338.951 - 339.783

(()) good yeah

341.596 - 347.891

I was a bit nervous, I was a bit nervous, because when he said his name, and I was like, I can't believe it, it's the Jamie Diamond. But

341.646 - 342.367

Oh wow,

342.430 - 342.677

343.884 - 344.266

348.314 - 350.980

anyway, he was very good in the end, but yeah.

348.379 - 348.918

350.348 - 350.653

then yeah.

351.468 - 353.290

Okay, great. And, you know,

354.259 - 359.221

given, you know, someone someone told me that, that you guys, you know, had a very good service. So, you know,

359.290 - 359.867

359.615 - 362.786

I believe you don't think I don't. [noise] [filler] But

363.422 - 367.891

it's the first time I'm booking with a travel agency, you know, you just walk me through, like,

365.713 - 366.983

[filler] oh

368.372 - 381.600

are there benefits? Am I just paying more? like I understand, because, you know, I'm not saying that I'm not willing to pay more, I am. But, you know, I want to see those, those benefits in the package. I'm know(())

370.165 - 372.653

Yes no, no, no, no, no.

379.574 - 392.455

Of course, of course. So the, of course, of course, of course, the biggest benefit, well, the first of all, the benefits of traveling with travel agencies are that everything is arranged for. So you contact us, you tell us the dates, you're willing to go, we send you the packages,

392.714 - 396.646

we we arrange everything from your door, so wherever you live in New York,

396.677 - 397.076

397.367 - 404.848

to the hotel resort, and back to your door. So we'll get the taxi from your house to the airport, and the airport, everything is handled, we just, you know,

404.857 - 405.274

405.274 - 409.987

we'll send you everything via email, you print out everything, or if you don't want to print out, you have it on your phones.

407.170 - 407.367

410.485 - 424.379

[filler] [noise] And then once [filler] there when you land in Portugal, or wherever your destination takes you, we will try to get you, again, a transfer from the hotel to your venue, to your resort. And everything is arranged for, even if you, want

424.423 - 427.329

activities, we organize activities, everything we do it for you,

427.665 - 427.774

427.790 - 431.305

[noise] you just ask. And then another big benefit is we have a

429.639 - 430.096

431.744 - 436.141

[noise] looks, we call them travel brokers. We have a broker [filler] at,

432.612 - 432.764

436.139 - 436.333

436.646 - 445.574

well, depends on which resort, but they'll be within ten minute car drive from your resort, and you can come and attend [filler] each and every of your needs,

445.547 - 445.737

446.050 - 459.112

[filler] almost at any time. I think it's twenty hours a day, I think he takes a small break, and they do a swipe swap, but that's sort of the advantages of travel agencies. And then with us, particularly, we have a hotline as well, [filler] which is twenty four hours, very quick.

446.682 - 447.108

great

459.057 - 459.492

459.841 - 474.822

[filler] [noise] And then, of course, you can contact me [filler] whenever you want, [filler] assuming we'll take us to the next step, because I work [filler] fifteen hours a day in the week, and then I can absolutely available available for you. Yeah, these are busy periods, summer now,

470.526 - 471.271

oh wow,

475.175 - 481.605

seventeenth July, these are where we make our bucks, as we say in the industry. So we need to be working a lot more, because in the winter day, you know

479.187 - 479.504

482.141 - 494.401

as you probably know, it calms down a lot the travel industry, especially for these summer locations. So we work a bit more in them. Sorry, I distracted you a bit there. Those are our sort of brief and summarized benefits.

485.288 - 486.079

(())

491.519 - 492.345

[laugh]

492.644 - 492.937

493.136 - 493.829

sounds good

494.663 - 499.627

Sounds good. So let me just think about it, because I have a golf trip

494.814 - 494.995

495.636 - 495.833

500.177 - 502.557

on the twenty fourth,

500.298 - 501.112

502.562 - 502.963

503.107 - 511.812

the wife with her mother in Texas, the kids. So let's try this. Can we do the last two weeks of August?

504.560 - 506.156

513.302 - 519.456

Last two weeks of August, [noise] okay. Let me just input it in the system.

513.355 - 513.518

518.739 - 519.777

Does that sound good?

520.245 - 520.610

521.302 - 527.701

Yep, we have availability for that. Plenty of availability still, as it's still good in advance [noise] a month and a bit. So

528.250 - 529.365

Okay great.

528.456 - 532.979

I can I can send you the packages, the options via email.

533.500 - 536.451

[filler] I think I'll have three or four ready for you. And then

534.537 - 535.037

536.923 - 537.168

536.966 - 548.239

[filler] once you receive them, you know, just have a quick look. [filler] [noise] Obviously, if you have any further questions, let me know. But then once you've chosen it, send it through and then that'll be it. [noise] Everything will be arranged on our side. You don't have to do anything else. You can enjoy

548.144 - 548.524

Okay.
