I have a trip on Sunday to sunny Aberdeen, from Jerez; although I can also fly from Seville, Gib or Malaga which are within a reasonable drive from here, Jerez being the closest and at this time of year nice and quiet.
As I am well aware that our Corporate TA will do the least amount of work, I now make my own recommendations to my "Booker" prior to requesting travel. In this case I recommended to avoid IB and only book with BA, because I had checked the rates and BA was half the price of IB. The email came back the next day saying that IB was over GBP1300 and offering cheaper options from AGP. When I insisted they look at a BA option the fare was GBP585, leaving Jerez.
The Booker had passed on my recommendation, the Corporate TA, just did not bother to read...
