There isn’t any company that doesn’t love having their customers give them kudos, so its always fantastic when it’s time for consumers to vote on their favorite companies in the travel industry. This year the customers came out in droves for the Holiday Extra’s Customer Service Awards.

Regular folks gave the thumbs up and their personal voet to the best companies in the business. And let’s face it, if you want to really know who is good and who is bad, ask the customers, right?

Well, the customers certainly had their say at the Holiday Extras Customer Service Awards . Run by the online travel website Holiday Extras, these awards have been around for three years and just get better and better as more folks get involved in them.
