Great feedback Lynn and Marg! Yeah! I felt the same way. I found out about them through a Naturalist that was on our National Geographic - Lindblad Olivia Baja trip a few months ago. We were talking about "business" and she mentioned her sister that had been in the Industry for over 20 years, always did her air all over the world and always got great pricing for her. When we interviewed her, and gave her a few tries, she was perfect for our women and needs for travel. I hope more people will give her a try. They won't be disappointed! Always good to support women-owned agencies as well.

We booked our air tickets last Friday afternoon with Panorama and were REALLY pleased. Friendly, helpful and they got back to us within an hour with a flight and price that was much better than anything we have seen here. Prompt follow-up with e-mail details.
Thanks Jill.

We are happy to announce a new partnership with Panorama Travel in Oregon. They are women owned and operated, and of course Gay-Friendly. They are able to negotiate better rates for Air to Europe and other places than what you can find on the Internet. We invite you to give them a try for your flight needs! Let them know you are with "Olivia" and they will take good care of you.

Thanks Julie,
I actually have AC flight 9104 flagged, but am trying to get a better deal!!! Not looking good....why are the airfares more expensive than when I checked several months ago when Europe is in such a mess with the euro, the ash, the Greek uprisings.....wow. Will figure it all out for sure.

Oh, and our flight home direct to YYZ leaves Athens at 12:15. Hope it flys on the 13th too for you.......
Don't forget your $60 for the visa when you land in IST....
Ladies,
I had better figure out flights as I had checked a few months ago and now the prices have gone up a bit! Trying to find a flight leaving Athens later in the day is not easy. I am leaving on the 13th and of course the flights are cheaper if I leave at 7am.....I also want to arrive in Istanbul around 1pm so I'd better get moving on this.
