Customer service officer (Kayla) was excellent, very helpful and attentive.
Online booking was good however not getting an instant confirmation could have presented a problem. Message said it could have taken up to two days to confirm, I only had one day available. However did not matter in the end as it then confirmed pretty quickly, but I was thinking I may need to look elsewhere before it confirmed.
