I wanted to pass on our thanks for the help and support you gave JD whilst he was stranded at Frankfurt Airport during last week s dreadful weather. You applied your usual magic and managed to get him onto a flight ahead of a very long queue of people. You and your team at Traveleads are always so wonderful on such occasions and we would like you to know how much you are appreciated LT, Danoptra Ltd, Leeds
