  • Its probably cheaper to book a package with www.thomascook.com as accom alone is coming out at over £800 for the week and a package leaving on the 11th May from East Mids to Port Aventura Hotel is only £927 including transfers and fight meals.

    Whilst Sloppychops is a travel genius, I'm not sure that even they have a crystal ball ;):p
  • Well, its simply not good enough:rotfl:

    Badly worded....I suppose I meant to say at what point is a holiday classed as last minute (4 weeks before departure)?

    No it was for half board.Not always cheaper booking independently you need to check out all options and in this case booking through Thomas Cook works out cheaper.
    Not sure if you could get it cheaper last min,you could always wait and see but as you are wanting a specific hotel you run the risk of it becoming all booked up so i would book asap while the prices with TC are good with free child place.

    Does it have to be these hotels, Thompson have some good prices on other hotels for these dates
  • We wanted them hotels as its our 3 year olds 1st holiday
    She has recently been diagnosed with brain stem cancer so we would like to spoil her as we dont know what the future holds for us all

    We are trying to find the best deal as money is tight as wife given up her job to look after her

    I am looking at a thomas cook screen that says £332 per person but the holiday adds up to over £900? It is saying a free child place but it cant be as numbers dont add up
