Missed Flight? No Problem.

“Yesterday our Director, missed his flight from London Gatwick to Aberdeen due to a delayed train on the way to the airport. He called Gray Dawes to explain the situation and the agent Richard Tooke was superb at getting him onto an alternative later flight from Heathrow – one of the last 2 seats. This was all completed in just a few minutes. Our Director was very impressed and extremely grateful for the service he received.”
