    wow wow wow me thinks portugal looks nice.

    Thanks
  • Sense a 3 way romance happening....(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Seriously thoughm you guys have about 100 times more knowledge than most High Street Agents (I prepare for death threats....!!) & packaging up is the way to go in most cases.

    Savapenny.....wish you'd not posted that link-everyone will be trying to hack in to it now....(!!! only joking!!!).

    Trust are a good operator & realise that by utilising Agents that give them volume business they don't need to sell direct to the public & as the rates are in some cases 15-20% less than the standard web-sites there is no need to risk a non atol package. Trust are quite 'brave' in their contracting-they commit to 'x' no of rooms (meaning they HAVE to sell them or they lose loads of money) & consequently the prices are very keen as they also deal direct (not through an Agent overseas-who takes a cut of commision) with the Hotel. Also being travel trust bonded they are secure. I'm not saying in every case they win but for the quality hotels such as MITSIS in greece (https://www.mitsishotels.com) & Iberostar they are VERY good.

    Anyway....back to the original poster (sorry nicksky) are you prepared to look at S. Spain, Portugal, etc & move the days just by one day-as sava & sloppy say it will make all the difference!

    Chris
