Thomson v Teletext - What are my chances?

Hello,

I'm looking to book a week in Ibiza (Santa Eulalia) during the last week in September based on Half Board. To book through Thomson it will cost £1,100 but via Teletext is will be approx £400pp with additional charges for t'fers etc.

If I call Thomson and say I've found this price, what are my chances of haggling them down to this price? Has anyone had any experiences with Thomson and discounting a package holiday?

Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi

    To start with I would be willing to bet that the teletext holiday {should you choose to try and book it} will have "just sold out" but there will be another "offer" but dearer for what you want. As to taking the info to Thomson I cannot see in my wildest dreams them agreeing to reduce the price they want by around say £500/600 but all you can do is ask.
    I wish you luck with your endevour and please let us know if it happens

    Would think if it actually is there with teletext it will have lots of add ons to include.

    It's not like for like so they won't be interested.
