    If you are going for the earlier flight e-mail the hotel well in advance for an early check-in or you might be sitting around all day waiting for your room
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • isn't check in for hotels usually 12noon? I would probably get to the hotel at 9am after the transfer with that flight so it's not perfect..... yeah i will email them, at worse we can find a nice cafe to chill in for a couple of hours, not the end of the world

    Check in can be anything from 2-4pm ...but like you say find a cafe or put swimwear in carry on bag and your ready to enjoy the pool as soon as your feet hit the floor.
    Have a fantastic time

    Transfers still needed
    You also might want to pay for room for an extra night as the flights back home are during the night(the next day) and if you are like me i like to keep the room on instead of being kicked out at a certain time(usually10-12 am).



    thanks!!!! am going through them now!!!! vasia beach and spa looks nicest and other place doesnt seem to be available on dates we want anyway.... just looking at flights now..... did you pick 21 jul as that was only when it goes??? as we could go on the saturday or early sunday???

    have pushed the !here we go! button and have printed out hotel voucher, all booked and deposit paid, room will be available from 12pm 21/7 which seems odd as we wont be there till about 7am 22/7............... hope i have done all this right now. all my details match yours so hope so!

    now for flights....... looked up one you showed and our price came in at £887.60 and not £853.20 as it turns out there is also a flight leaving similar times from stansted which hubby prefers and that is also £887.20. is it worth shopping around any further?????? these flight details were what we gave when booking hotel but assume we could change that if necessary????
