F/O Man/LPL -Murcia/Alicante earliest 13th July for approx 7 nts or longer if cheaper

Details:

2 adults
1 child aged 11
1 infant

Manchester/Liverpool - Murcia or Alicante

leaving the earliest 13th July for 7-10 nights

The cheapest I've found is with BMI Baby £343. 13/07/06 - 20/07/06 MAN-ALC

If anyone can beat this i'd love to hear!

Also, can anyone advise on baggage allowances? I know my infant won't get an allowance but we'll need to take along her travel cot (fairly heavy) and a buggy - what happens in cases like these?

Thanking you in advance,

dee xx :confused:

    Taken from the Thomson website.

    Children’s pushchairs and car seats
    Due to the lack of space on board the aircraft, car seats or pushchairs are not allowed in the cabin. You will usually be able to take the pushchair to the gate before it will be transported in the hold. Please check with our ground staff when you check in, if you are permitted to take your pushchair to the gate. We offer carriage of pushchairs and car seats (carried in the hold of the aircraft) free of charge.

  • Thanks Sloppychops! In the end i booked the outgoing with Thomson and the incoming with Monarch as the times/dates suited better.

    cheers for your help though, you saved me at least £50, which will now go towards car hire! :beer:
