Fantastic experience: Mel always goes above & beyond for her clients. I wouldn’t use anyone else to book our travels with as she knows all the best places & deals. If I could give more stars, I would! My little family of 3 have just come back from Fiji where Mel organized our accommodation at Musket Cove Island Resort, all our transfers & flights. It’s so much easier & less stressful having someone who knows what they are doing organize it all. Thanks Mel and the team at Clout Travel

Fantastic experience: We recently approached Melanie Clout from Clout Travel for a Quote to undertake a tour through Greece and Croatia/Solvenia. Melanie was polite and responsive to our needs, and even managed to secure a past passenger discount for us from Globus Travel who we had used a number of times previously. This was unexpected but most welcome. Melanie is very passionate about her business and the clients she assists, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone requiring the services of an experienced local travel agent.

Clout Travel

Hi David and Julie, thank you so much for your feedback, it was a pleasure to assist and we look forward to talking to you soon.

Fantastic experience: Have just returned from a fabulous holiday in Europe. I sent Mel a spreadsheet with my plans, including some non-negotiables (hotels I’d chosen, side trips I’d found). Mel and the team organized all the details, hotels, flights, trains, transfers and tours. It all worked perfectly and complied with my requests. The hotels were all close to the centre of cities so it was easy to get around while there. The team made sure that there was enough time between trains/flights to make our connections (even when in some cases there were delays. Both the emailed documentation and the hard copies contained useful notes and reminders about such things as on-line check-ins, tours and transfers that had to be confirmed. Mel kept in touch where necessary with reminders and updates, changed a tour when we were half-way through the trip and responded promptly (and out of hours) when we were given some misinformation. I couldn’t be more delighted with the team.

Clout Travel

Marian thanks so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to look after your travel plans and so glad you had an amazing time away. We look forward to talking to you again very soon.

Fantastic experience: Melanie showed a real interest in helping us plan our trip, unlike some of the "big " agents who wanted to railroad us into one of their preset packages, which would have us tied down to doing what they wanted us to do. I would advise all to check & read all your travel documents because sometimes there are little details that can be very relevent to your hassle-free journey. We found this out ourselves simply because we overlooked a small detail that could have caused us ti miss a train journey. Luckily, we had enough "wriggle room" timewise and were able to get it sorted. The last stage of our trip included 5 nights at a seaside resort, but upon arrival at the resort, we were told that the room we booked via Melanie was not available, and the resort was at capacity. We were put up in a less than ideal room, which was disappointing for us. The next morning, we had advice from Melanie, that her wholesaler had unfortunately made an error with our booking and there was nothing we could do about it. Melanie went in to bat for us with the offending wholesaler and succeeded in obtaining a full refund for the accommodation package, including our meals! Apart from that (we still enjoyed our time at the resort anyway), our trip overall was very enjoyable and we would recommend Clout travel to anybody who is planning a holiday either with everything, tours etc set in concrete, or just traveling to your own choice of destinations without being tied to tour timetables, restaurants, visiting specific sites etc. It's nice if things go wrong, to know you have an agent who is looking after your best interests and is prepared to take on and rectify any errors. Thanks Melanie & Clout Travel..

Clout Travel

Thankyou so much for taking the time to give us such detailed feedback and allowing us to assist in rectifying when things do go wrong. I am so glad you had an amazing time in Thailand and value the feedback. We look forward to talking to you soon.

Negative experience: EDIT: Expected response from Clout Travel - no ownership and blame on anything except the facts. Let alone, deciding to issue tickets BEFORE they received the passport when names provided for a different trip clearly marked as TBC, laughable really...the list goes on. I just hope this review deters others from having such a horrendous experience. The interactions with Clout Travel (Melanie) started off quite well, recommendations sounded good and quite responsive for the first couple of weeks. Unfortunately that is where it stopped, if i could give a 'minus' star I definitely would. Melanie was handling a group trip for which my sister and I were part of, however my friend was the lead contact for Japan trip. As a side request I made some inquiries about a separate trip to Europe for my sister and I. Melanie quoted prices for flights and rushed us to pay as prices were apparently going up. We paid accordingly as requested (mid march 2023), however we were not sent a receipt or E-Tickets, I did not worry too much about this as she was a 'tried and proven' agent which had been used by a friend and expected she would ask for passport details. A point to note is that at NO time did Melanie request my details as the contact for Europe trip or copies of our passports, as every other travel agent does. Two weeks later (early Apr 2023), my friend who was organizing the Japan trip, requested copies of passports and we provided them for the Japan trip. Although the information was provided in a timely manner, Clout travel decided to issue the Japan tickets without sighting the passports, even though the names provided originally were clearly marked as TO BE CONFIRMED. We received the Japan E-Tickets and identified to Mel that my sisters name was WRONG on the E-ticket, and when I asked her why they were issued BEFORE the passports were received, she responded that she just wanted to issue them in the morning!. Furthermore, we discovered that she does not book seats which meant my sister and had to sit separately on some of the flights as I was not aware she had not booked seats for us as every other travel agent does. The name issue was rectified for Japan as we notified her within 24hrs. Now this is where the fun began. This prompted me to followed up on our Europe payment receipt E-tickets which we had not received only to discover the my sisters E-ticket had been issued to the wrong name also. This was highlighted to Mel on 2-Apr-2023, and was not resolved until mid November 2023 and only after Fair Trading was engaged. Throughout the 6 months, we had minimal updates from Clout Travel, at first we were patient and followed up every 3 to 4 weeks, to which we would eventually receive a short don't know much have to wait on the airlines. At the advise of Fair Trading we sent an email providing a timeline for resolution or alternatively we would engage Fair Trading. We received an unprofessional aggressive email placing ownership on everyone except Clout Travel. Furthermore, the contact details provided to the airlines were incorrect so I could not receive any notifications on flight changes etc...and no seats were booked for us at all, which meant we had to sit separately on multiple flights. The absolutely worse experience with a travel agent. The name change to my sisters flights caused us further issues when coming home. Normally there are may be two airlines mentioned on the flights, ours was Emirates, however there was also a Qantas flight number on the board. Due to the changes made by Clout Travel we were unable to get boarding passes for a leg of the journey (my sisters name appeared both on Emirates AND Qantas flight) until we engaged Emirates directly to fix yet another issue. So many other issues I could mention. I would recommend Clout Travel and will never used them again.

Clout Travel

Hi Maria, Thankyou for your feedback - we are sorry you had a bad experience. We at all times strive to provide the best service and action things as promptly as possible. We understand there were frustrations as the names provided to us at time of booking and provided on invoice did not match passport that was travelling on (despite that being the first question we asked). Which we then worked tirelessly on your behalf without any charging you for our time get this name corrected even though this error was not ours to begin with. We were so happy to get these reissues done by all 5 airlines that you had booked without additional charge to yourself so that you could travel as booked and quoted. We agree it is very challenging when airlines do not action or respond in timely fashion meaning we are left waiting whilst airlines action these requests and reissue in departure order meaning this did not happen until closer to travel when you are flying. We would love any further feedback to ensure our clients have a smooth travel experience and any issues to not occur again for yourself or others. Once again thankyou for your time in providing this feedback and wish you well in all future travels. Seating was at no time booked or paid through our office and I understand made even more frustrating by the fact the airlines would not reissue the name correction on flights until closer to departure. We appreciate your

Fantastic experience: Melanie is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for her, and she genuinely cares about her clients and making sure they enjoy themselves. We've just come back from Antartica, which Mel organised for us, and we had the most amazing time ever. Had a mishap post Antartica with cancelled flights in South America and one message to Mel and we were all sorted and made it home for Xmas. Cannot recommend Clout Travel highly enough. Melanie and her team are simply wonderful!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Mel and the team highly enough! We recently went on a cruise and Mel and the team were there every step of the way to hold our hands and give us prompt, personalised, and expert advice. We had an incredible holiday with all our hypothetical stresses and questions resolved by Mel and the team with great care. If not for their incredible help and depth of expertise we would not have had such a relaxing trip. I got back off the boat and started planning a holiday right away and wouldn’t dream of booking it without Mel and the team!

Clout Travel

Thanks so much for your kinds words JC - so glad you had an amazing time on your cruise and look forward to assisting you with the next one.

It's all done and you can just enjoy it. Melanie listens to what you want and with her knowledge is able to find what you need, very quickly! And then, she and her team are always there, as there were the all to common flight delays and cancellations, and Clout Travel is always at the other end of the phone to get you safely to where you need to go.

Fantastic experience: Melanie Clout has arranged the reservation of our flight that we made to our daughter who lives in Australia. She arranged the best seating in the plane and advised me on the paperwork that was needed for COVID. She sent me the links that I needed and it all worked out perfectly. She is a friendly and hands-on person and she responded very quick on all my questions. She was a great help and support for us. I can highly recommend her. April 2022 Ron Heinrich, The Netherlands.

Robert Chapman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have booked two international trips with Clout Travel. Each time the service provided by Melanie has been outstanding. Her knowledge and in turn guidance with ideas of available options was most reassuring and this gave us significant confidence in the selection and booking of accommodation and sight-seeing options which we would not have otherwise chosen. When our trip to UK was cancelled due to COVID, Melanie promptly pursued obtaining refunds for all the bookings which had been made. The Hotels for a couple of the accommodation bookings initially were reluctant to provide a refund. However, Melanie was tenacious in pursuing them. She simply did not stop following them up until they provided the full refund. Thank you, Melanie, for your fantastic service. Shirley and Robert.

Clout Travel

Thankyou Robert and Shirley for your kind words. A pleasure to be able to assist you and so glad we could sort this out for you. Look forward to assisting you again with travel soon. Cheers Melanie

Melanie Spain 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Efficient, knowledgeable, fair-price: Knowing that Melanie Clout previously worked for a company that did "boutique" travel I wasn't sure if my flights to Ireland (and a visit to Singapore on the way home) to visit family would be too small a job for her to accept. But she was all too happy to help, and asked good questions to figure out my likes/dislikes/requirements in order to accommodate. When I did a quick comparison of flight times/ hotel costs Melanie bettered the online prices and times, and went the extra mile to check my random queries on the smallest things. Recommend!!

Clout Travel

Thanks so much Melanie for your review - it was a pleasure to assist you with all of your travel needs - so excited for your and your family!! Look forward to talking to you again soon for any of your travel needs

Fantastic experience: Mel is professional and exceptional in every way! We were wanting to do a trip for a while but kept having to pivot and were unsure of the changing restrictions over the Covid period. She not only booked up wonderful places and gave awesome recommendations, but quickly responded to my many questions. So grateful!

Clout Travel

Thanks Angeliqua for the review, it was a pleasure to be able to assist and finally get you away. We look forward to assisting you with your future travel

Armin Weiner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Melanie for the best professional travel service that I have used in a long time, especially considering these trying times to travel. By far the best attendance to details, responsiveness and exceptional work ethics and quality. Melanie followed up on every aspect of the travel, from Airline changes before the flight through COVID changing guidelines - NO online service can provide you with this kind of experience. I will be using Clout Travel for all my travel needs! P.S - Google should add a 6 stars category for Melanie Clout Travel.

Clout Travel

Thanks Armin for such a wonderful review. It has been a pleasure to look after your travel needs and I look forward to assisting you in the future. Safe Travels - your booking is greatly appreciated - even more so when our service is valued

Phil Stubbings 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mel was a delight to work with. Her travel advice was researched, quick and appropriate, she was so very professional but natural and her attention and action first class. Her all up pricing came in slightly cheaper than we could obtain. We will use her again without hesitation and will spread the word. Ours was a refreshing experience

Clout Travel

Phil it has been a pleasure to assist you with your travel arrangements. Thanks so much for your feedback we look forward to helping you again in the future and appreciate your booking and kind words.

Fantastic experience: Mel assisted my children and I with our trip to Tasmania. She planned a fantastic itinerary. Our plans had to be postponed three times due to various COVID lockdowns and border closures. Each time she re-booked everything. We had a great time on our trip. Thanks Mel.

Clout Travel

Lyndel thanks so much for your 5 star review. It was a pleasure to be able to assist you and your family and I have never been so happy that someone finally got to take a holiday....even if it was later than planned. Look forward to talking to you again soon!!

Fantastic experience: There are so many qualities I absolutely love about Mel and her philosophy, not to mention her infectious positivity!! At the time of writing this, there is so much uncertainty around travel restrictions and the hoops you need to jump through. Mel is my "peace of mind". She will make sure I have all my documents and needs sorted. If you need to get somewhere, she will find a way. When you have made a booking, and your flights change or cancel, she'll have it all sorted, rebooked and you'll have your new ticket in your inbox before you even find out from the Carrier - I know a few P.A.'s that would lover her in their corner. Mel also has some amazing connections within the travel industry and can find some of the most unique experiences and destinations to add to your itinerary. Mel simply cares and nothing is ever a problem.

Clout Travel

Telia thanks so much for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated. We look forward to being able to assist you again in the near future!!

Bev Jensen 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mel from Clout Travel has been my travel agent for around 16 years. She has always offered such fabulous destination, accommodation and activity suggestions and has provided a totally professional, helpful and prompt service. Her knowledge and advice has been invaluable and her problem solving abilities are nothing short of amazing. In particular, her help with regard to each state's COVID rules, regulations and restrictions and her up-to-date knowledge of the documents and requirements has been most helpful and very much appreciated. Her enthusiasm is infectious and I always feel I can travel with confidence knowing that my holiday has been planned by a consummate professional. Thank you Mel, please know that all your very hard work and efforts are greatly appreciated.

Clout Travel

Bev it is a pleasure to look after all of your amazing holidays and ensure each runs smoothly, this week has been exciting planning some amazing adventures for when borders open. We very much appreciate your continued business and assisting you with your future travel plans

Leisa G 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: We recently had the pleasure of utilising Clout Travel to book flights, accommodation and a wonderful weekend away for a celebration. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was taken care of including a perfect location being suggested by her. Why would you book anything yourself during these times, when a phone call to Mel can reassure you or change plans if necessary?

Clout Travel

Leisa thank you for your kind words and I am so glad you got away for business and your weekend away. We look forward to assisting you in the future and your kind testimonial.

Fantastic experience: Clout travel has provided such professional service and a great holiday! Melanie has been amazing at putting together an itinerary for NZ.

Fantastic experience: Melanie at Clout Travel recently organised accommodation for our group of 5 people, for a driving holiday looking for lighthouses, down the coast of New South Wales from Brisbane to Toukley, a town near The Entrance and return via the New England Highway. As expected, from previous holidays organised with her, everything went smoothly from start to finish. Thank you Melanie.

Jase Pearson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Mel some 2 years ago and since then have booked all of my business requirements, travel and stay through her company. Mel not only books everything that I need for my business, but also my long weekends away and corporate events to. I found Mel to genuinely care about her clients and follows up after your stay to make sure you had a fantastic time and it met all your expectations. I highly recommend her to any of my friends or business connections. I can’t recommend her enough. If you're looking for a fantastic travel agent who you can rely on and trust to look after all your travel needs, then look no further. 12 out of 10 for me !!!!

Clout Travel

Thankyou so much for your kind words Jase - it is a pleasure to look after you and your business for all of your trips - safe travels and we look forward to talking to you soon.

Randal Dennings 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Melanie Clout has looked after us for many years and after moving to her agency we have not had a problem or misunderstanding as to our travel arrangements or expectations. Her advice ( and tailored options we would never had thought of or located ourselves ) has been spot on. BTW When we ran into the odd difficulty, she would use all her contacts and expertise to ensure we were OK. e.g. Last year, our daughter gave birth 2 months early and we needed to get up to Darwin on the next flight. Melanie organised flights , accomodation and car hire while we looked after the quarantine and border approvals. Melanie worked through the weekend to ensure it all happened for us so we could be there to support our family. Melanie has fixed up (without extra cost) some messed up international flights and bookings from our previous agent, arranged refunds for us from our 2020 pre Covid international trips through Europe, rearranged on several occasions our COIVD impacted Australian travel as well as organising all the details concerning our pre- COVID Cruises throughout the South Pacific and NZ. Melanie is unflappable and nothing is too much trouble. She "underpromises and over performs". Melanie specialises in listening and understanding exactly what you want and your budget .. and then she provides realistic options ( and the odd wild card ) to ensure that you get what you expect. We feel we are lucky to work with her and for her to "have our back". Thanks for everything Melanie :)!

Clout Travel

Thankyou so much for your kind words - it is a pleasure to be there with you on your journey and adventures we appreciate the kind words and your continued business. Safe travels and we look forward to speaking again soon

Liz Dunn 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have been using Mel for many years now and have recommended her to many of our friends and family; getting Mel to book your travel is a bit like a trip to Kmart - Kmart inspires you and tells you what you need and this is exactly what Mel does. We have made some pretty curly requests over the years and every time Mel has dazzled with her ability to make it work. Most recently she even somehow managed to convince a property that we needed to move our Christmas accommodation dates about 3 days before we were due to arrive! Clout Travel is always our first port of call whenever we need to travel anywhere.

Clout Travel

Liz thank-you so much for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. It is a pleasure to look after you and your family - so glad you enjoyed your time away!!

Joseph Bobadilla 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Melanie has been so accommodating in helping me and my family organise some activities for a very last minute trip to Airlie Beach during the New Year break. She has been communicating and organising everything for us even during the Christmas period and has been incredible to work with. I am looking forward to booking any future holidays with her and the Clout Travel team!

Clout Travel

Joseph we hope you had an amazing time away. A pleasure to look after you and your family and look forward to many more travel plans
