holiday question

algarve202

i am trying to book a holiday for two to crete sept 4th to 18th
found several namely olympic, and monarch .

my problem (or naivette) is this
olympic dpt bhx at 18.20 arrive crete after midnight on 5th sept
monarch dpt bhx at 17.45 arrive crete after midnigt on 5th sept

equally on the return journey particuilarly from olympic dept crete 12.20 ,so preumably be at airport by 10.20 ,pickup from hotel 9.20.

i am lookinkg to book all inclusive for these dates ,so in effect i will be paying for room,food and drinks on the 4th even though we wont be there.,simillarly on the 18th we will only be there for breakfast, is this normal practice or am i missing something.

you have posted on the wrong board - this would be better on the overseas holidays board (this one is to report bargains)

The price should reflect the flight timings and board provided, btw check the reviews for the airline Olympic may be using before booking.

Assuming you're booking a 14 night holiday, you're paying for 14 nights accomodation, and you're using 14 nights accomodation, holidays are charged per night in the room, not per day's worth of facilities used.

If you didn't pay for the night of the 4/5th you wouldn't have a room unitl after 2-3pm on the 5th after arriving in the early hours.
