Holiday to Gran Canaria

I was about to book a holiday this morning to Gran Canaria but the Thompson search does not look to be working correctly as the prices have gone up considderably from all week and I put in exact date but the holiday displayed it two days earlier. Anyway, below is what I am looking for so please give best price. Thanks

Destination - Gran Canaria
From - Gatwick (or any London Airport)
Date - 18th November only
Duration - 7 Nights
Resort - Playa De Ingles
Hotel - Gran Canaria Princess
Board - All Inclusive
Number of People - 3
Number of rooms - 1 or Preferably 2

Other info.
Coach transfers required, no insurance or in flight meals needed

Was quoted about £480 last week but will pay whatever is cheapest as it is coming in over £500 today.
Thanks

    Could be the holiday you were looking at on the 18th has sold out and the nearest date now is the 16th.

    Nope flights are still available on the 18th according to their flight only section.

    Try pricing it up through their hotel section then adding on flights,transfers etc.

    Or give them a call and see what price they can give you over the phone.We did this recently and holiday was over £200 cheaper booking over the phone.

  • Hi, I've just had a look on the Thomson website and the holiday you are looking for is priced £1366 for 3 on the 18th from Gatwick. It might be worth booking soon before it goes up again.

    Thanks for looking for me. I am still getting it showing as £520pp and the flights showing the 16th. I called the Thompson travel agent and they are quoting £509pp and the flights are available on the 18th so your right.
    Are you going through the Thompson web site late deals section?
    Many thanks
