►Obviously Tripmasters bears no responsibility for United Airlines' atrocious performance on the outbound flight segment; thank heavens for Lufthansa and Austrian, which put the pieces back together after our flight delays as United vaporized. Tripmasters chat and help functions worked well; no complaints at all.
It remains that there was a huge potential issue at the beginning. The Jolly Hotel was our destination in Tirana, and during the week before departure I was informed of COVID protocols there, which made no sense. I sent a message via the hotel's Fb page and heard nothing, so followed up with Tripmasters, which determined that these had long since ended and we should not worry. Okay, fine; the protocol was listed again on the printable itinerary, but I ignored it as instructed. On the morning of departure, with considerable worry attached to weather conditions, I received a belated reply via Jolly's Fb page, informing me the hotel had been closed to months and we'd better do something else.
To be sure, Tripmasters performed well in pivoting to a new hotel, but what if a random someone from a closed hotel had not decided to let me know when they did? We might well have gone there on the day of arrival. It also meant that on this stressful departure morning I was on the horn with the vendor of the daytrip scheduled to meet at the Jolly. I understand that Expedia is ultimately responsible, but really, is there any excuse for not knowing a hotel had closed?
Apart from that, again, no complaints with Tripmasters. I realize the Balkans are not Norway, and my expectations are a bit lower accordingly.
