The travel agents lie!

Arke

Seeing our holiday plans change drastically we decided to go somewhere... Being spammed with the Amsterdam trams driving around with a promotion by Arke.nl to go to the Dominican Republic for a price starting 399 euro me and my (Dominican) girlfriend were thrilled!
While looking on their website everything changed (once again)... To start the 399 is for a less popular destination, 599 is for a prime destination, ok, we take the 399 anyway... clicking through to the destination leaves you with a list of dates and prices that are for 1 person 2.5 times (!) as much as 399 euro and for 2 persons 2 times as much! This is absolutely insane and makes you wonder why they dont list this as 'starting 1 euro', because everything starts somewhere usually. Imagine you go to a supermarket and see the prices next to a product as 'starting 1 cent' and when you go to the cashier to pay you get the actual price, would you accept this?

To me these people are pure criminals.
