Anyone had any experience in this sector? I.e. Large holiday/travel provider with significant online presence? Any stories to share? Musing over a particularly tasty specification that's been sent my way.

Been on the holiday side, but budget company, they were pretty tight. But alright environment.

Went for an interview at a travel place a year ago too. Fantastic interview...but they were very hung up on having "travel experience". When asked if I had travel experience, "IBIFAAA last year", not amused...

I wonder what they're looking for with that question?
It says 'travel experience' desirable... They could mean working in the same sector - or do they want a regular Ray Mears character who's backpacked around Africa carrying nothing but a penknife and a flint?
