Friends wedding - paphos wedding date 15/4/10
St George Hotel
Depart Glasgow (preferably but would consider london if I can get internals)

We need to get there before the wedding. Wedding party booked 2 weeks all inclusive, we only want to go for one week all inclusive.

We want to stay at this hotel, we don't want to fly Thomsons as the flight gets in the early hours of the wedding morning. We want to fly Globespan as their flights are fridays. So we can arrive friday before and leave friday straight after.

Thomsons and Thomas Cook both offer this hotel all inclusive, globespan don't seem to.

I can book holiday with thomsons flights from TC and thomsons, but when I try flight and hotel with either, they don't offer me this hotel. Tried hotel direct and they only offer full board not all inslusive.

Is there any other way I can book this with friday flights (TC used to have tuesday flights which would have been idea) and this hotel all inclusive that I haven't yet tried?

I am too early/too late?

Argh!

    On Thomson, their flight is Wed 14/04 0940/1635 and rtn Wed 21/04 1750/2110, they have the hotel comming up as HB but you can upgrade to AI (15pppn) when booked as a package with their flights.

    On Thomas Cook their flights is Wed 14/04 1825/0125, I can't find the hotel with Thomas Cook.

    The hotel is avail as accom only through Thomson, if you were to get Fri flights but it only gives you the HB option, it may be worth phoning Thomson to see if it can be booked AI as accom only as it is possible with the package. Either that or email the hotel direct and ask for a price.

    So I would say your options look like
    Package with Thomson AI arriving 14th at 1635 or
    Flights with Globespan on Fri and HB accom with Thomson.

    Hiya, I would look into flights only and phone the hotel direct to book the AI bit. You then just pay for private taxi's from the airport.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    Hi, I did try that they just gave me the cost of the full board option. Will try again though, it's got to be worth a shot! Thanks for your help.
