JMC

...was that it was with JMC - I'd never travelled with them before and I had heard so many bad things. Well, I discussed it with Mum and she reckoned at that price we should go for it - we did. Prior to booking I used the hotel search facility from Lunn Poly's website (lunnpoly.co.uk I think) to check out the hotel and it looked quite nice. As go-now does not have on line booking as yet, I had to ring up on the Monday morning, was I too late? Not at ...
...the Island, the resort and JMC in general. He also helped us check in when we reached our hotel as it was fairly late and our hotel Reps were off duty for the evening. Our hotel was the Delfin Verde Marina, which is a JMC exclusive hotel. Our room was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We had a nice large bathroom with Bath, Shower, Basin, Toilet and Bidet - and lots of towels. There was a large balcony with clothes drying facilities ...

Review of JMC

...their logo colour!) we have JMC (tight-fisted holiday company). DING DING! The battle commences! Ok…..what the heck am I on about…. To those of you that haven’t read my Bahamas op – I mentioned at the end of the opinion that despite opting for half board at my hotel, in theory I really got the room only basis (the food was so bad at the restaurant in my hotel that I would have sooner stayed in my room!). The story begins! ...
...as this op is about JMC and not my hotel but all I will tell you is that the service was appalling and one of the restaurant ‘specials’ was spam in gravy…enough said! Anyway….after about 4 days of crap food and service I complained to the rep in our resort. She was very helpful and said that she would sort things out with the restaurant manager. To cut a long story short – even though she tried, the restaurant situation ...

Review of JMC

...be offered some entertainment. However JMC had other ideas. It all began when they boarded the plane. It was approximately 9pm and over a two hour flight so they were hoping to watch a newly released film on the in-flight entertainment. Unfortunately the first thing the JMC crew announced was that the in-flight entertainment system was not working. However you could still buy their headphones! As a very poor compensation they did offer everyone ...
...in this one case the JMC staff showed they could be decent people even if the company was not up to much and managed to find said family member a spare vegetarian meal so no one went hungry. Horay. Now for the rather boring part of the tale – the one time JMC neither excelled or failed abysmally, the journey from the airport to the accommodation. The journey was smooth and quick. The only unfortunate points were the JMC rep. speaking over ...

Review of JMC

...was my first experience of JMC - hopefully it may well be my last!!!!!! OK OK I know I booked a late minute 'bargain' holiday through Thomas Cook but thats still no excuse for crap service as a lot of people may well have paid the brochure price. The Flight ~~~~~~~ We arrived at Gatwick Airport, checked in our luggage, walked around the shops had some food the plane was leaving on time - Excellent!! We boarded the plane and found our seats - ...
...mistake if you travel with JMC I found out - best to ask for isle seats as THERE'S NO B****Y ROOM!!! I've travelled a few times - not loads - but enough to feel that this was the most uncomfortable plane journey ever!! The seats are so close together that theres only just enough room to lower your table for the food!!!! Once seated the pilot introduced himself, told us how long the flight would be, where we would fly over and then handed us over ...

Review of JMC

...Sale ********* I booked my JMC holiday about 2 months ago from going places. I got to see the choice of apartments in the brochure and chose these particular self catering apartments in Kavos in Corfu because of the following details stated in the brochure:- 1) 50m from beach 2) 800M from centre 3) Had its own pool 4) Had a pool bar The holiday was fairly cheap at around £350 from two weeks in September. I liked option two as I knew Kavos ...
...frisk women. For goodness sake JMC you had an extra 1.5 hours to organise that a female security guard could be at the boarding gate to frisk folk. Well chaos ensued as children were split from parents etc etc Finally we took off 2 hours late. The Flight ********* We had managed to nab extra lag room seats, but, yes there’s a but I very quickly discovered I had no table! I told the trolley dolly when I ordered my drinks so I got my drinks ...

Review of JMC

...and drinks vouchers by the JMC staff. This was also a first for me. We were told there was a problem at Gatwick airport, and our plane hadn't taken off from there yet, so we would be delayed at least 4 hours, but at least they were honest and sympathetic. We settled down for some sleep and about an hour or so later, was awakened by an announcement informing us they would be shipping us out to a hotel, where we would stay the night. We stayed at ...
...all on JMC. The JMC staff stayed with us the whole time from checking in, to boarding the plane when it finally took off after a 13 hour delay. They didn't just dump us off the coaches and leave us to fend for ourselves even for a minute. On arrival back at Gatwick, insurance claim letters were waiting for us, and I just would like to add, that this delay was caused by a minor plane shunt, closing Gatwick for a short time, and therefore completely ...

Review of JMC

...from a "bargain" break with JMC holidays I would firstly like to say yes we did overall have a very good holiday once we were away from having any thing actually do with this company. JMC's slogan is unwrapping the packaged holiday, to be honest I could not see any difference in the package they offer to any other tour operators.Apart from lack of customer care. My holiday was booked and paid for one week prior to departure. The party consisted ...
...agents an official invoice that JMC had sent to them. One wonders if they can send out an invoice which obviously spent at least two days in the post why my flight tickets could not have been sent out as well? The recent is patently clear it would have meant JMC would not be able to charge me £20 for standing in a queue at Manchester airport!! My flight to Rhodes was from Manchester airport, after picking up my tickets from the JMC desk I proceeded ...

Review of JMC

...saw all the ads for JMC when they first launched (how many years ago?), I thought their whole concept looked great – “unwrapping the package holiday piece by piece” and all that. Well, it’s about time SOMEBODY made some changes, isn’t it? How wrong I was!!! My first experience came when I booked my honeymoon with them. My holiday cost £300 more with JMC than it would have done with another company. Oh well, I thought, ...
...was not bad, despite the JMC rep not turning up for the welcome meeting and the apartment being NEXT to the building work. Then, came the flight home. No problem. It wasn’t delayed – it was just “rearranged” for 3 hours later!! Still, at least the pushchair made it this time. Never again, I vowed. Again, I’m wrong. A year later, we booked a brilliant holiday with Cosmos (who I would definitely recommend). Only problem, ...

Review of JMC

...to Ibiza this year through JMC and have to say I didnt have any complaints, infact they were better than most of the other tour operators I have used in the past. For one, after landing in Ibiza, we found the JMC reps easily due to very large and luminous JMC signs everywhere. We found the flight to be very comfortable due to the helpfulness and friendliness of the JMC cabin crew. The reps once in Ibiza proved to be very helpful also and they were ...

Review of JMC

...danish! A final word on JMC this company has ovbiously annoyed a lot of people and a great site of complaints is www.jmc-uncovered.co.uk they have even tried to close this site down unsuccesfully, pity they did not take more notice of the complaints in hand! The sad thing is they have so many flight paths etc. sown up I'm afraid it's really hard avoid JMC however for the sake of a few extra quid I'll go with anybody but them in future. ...

Review of JMC

...have had nightmare hoildays with JMC as when we complained about our holiday we were informed that 'JMC recieve very few complaints of this nature'. Maybe i should start from the beginning.... After spending what i considered to be a small fortune on my first foreign holiday with my boyfriend we booked a self catering hoilday in Greece. Keen to have high quality accomodation we opted for the highest class of self catering appartment in the JMC brochure, ...
...unfortunatly it is impossible for JMC representitives to visit all accomodation on a regular basis to assess the quailty, but we could be assured that the matter would be looked into! There is only one thing that i am assured of, and that is that i've got one less brochure to carry home from the travel agents next time. ...

Review of JMC

...want to pay …so is JMC worth all your hard earned money ….. I have to say that is a hard question to answer. I will tell my tale …. We arrived at Gatwick a little early so that we would have the opportunity to have a large brunch and the chance to do some tax free shopping, before our flight to Turkey. On arrival, we were advised that our flight which had been due to leave at 2pm had been delayed until 5.30pm..hmmm however a ...
...all a nice flight …a JMC rep was there and waiting and showed us to our taxi that had been pre booked. So far so good… The hotel was pretty much the same as in the brochure. We met with our host as well as our rep the following day and booked the required excursions …I don’t feel that they were over priced…for example the Turkish bath was £12.00 ..Which is the standard charge at that establishment.. an all day trip ...

Review of JMC

...however, to the associate of JMC who wanted to whisk us off to a nearby centre one morning to try to sell a timeshare or something similar. Although the free lunch was tempting, half a day with exported born-again double glazing salesmen was not. We were invited to a JMC evening near our hotel for a game of Bingo and Karioke, and whilst we have now breached the 30 year mark, we have not quite accepted we should be spending our evenings with eyes ...
...each day in our room. Another little but appreciated thought from JMC. On our final day, we were collected in the time slot indicated and efficiently sped off to the airport with our cheery rep. Once again our flight left on time. In summary JMC - No Worries. ...

Review of JMC

...bad as is said. JMC were not terrible, but I would not choose to go with them again. They seemed disorganised and unreliable. Here's my story of what happened in Benidorm, Spain. We arrived at Alicante airport at about 9pm and were kindly welcomed and made comfortable on the coach taking us to Benidorm and the hotels. The bus journey was fine - air conditioning and the microphone actually worked. Next day was our welcome meeting. They arrived late ...

Review of JMC

...made up for it. JMC sounded good, but...where was the rep? We saw her twice and apparently, a rep would be at the hotel in the morning and the evening. When we arrived on the 1st day of the new season, there was a coach to the hotel. The hotel was good, but the checking in was 'interesting', more of a 'here's your hotel, see ya!'. In particular, there was a trip to the AquaPark in Palma on the Tuesday that we wanted to go to. Unfortunately, we were ...
...but only because we ignored JMC and did our own thing. If given the option of using JMC or slamming my head in a door, the door wins hand down. JMC used to be Sunworld or something, a company with a hideous reputation that changed its name. Windscale and Sellafield comes to mind! ...
