Want a quote on something specific-PART 2-NEW & IMPROVED!

mallymclane

hi guys,

Firstly, thanks again to both of you for trying to find me a better price. I've decided to book it through Thomson.co.uk as follows:

Flight and Hotel (x2): £587.22
Room Upgrades £28.00
Pre-book seats (x2): £24.00
Transfers (x2) £30.00
Ticket on departure (x2): £30.00
Govt Green Tax (x2): £10.00
Airport taxes and charges (x2): £42.78

Total Holiday Price: £752.00
Online Booking Discount (x2): -£34.00

Total Price: £718.00

The board is half board, but the Hotel assures us that they can give us an upgrade price to AI for when we get there, for cheaper than Thomson would sell it to us.

For the Atlantic Imperial Resort, leaving Manchester on 02/05 and coming back 09/05.


Thanks!

Mally

p.s. that 'on departure ticket' is a bit of a con....

If you havnt booked it yet

Go through the Hotel section then add flight dont bother with the Pre-book seats (x2): £24.00
and you wont get charge TOD either

Flight and Hotel : £630.00
Room Upgrades : £28.00
Govt Green Tax : £10.00 Transfers (x2) : £30.00
Sub-Total : £698.00
Online Discount -£34.04
Total: £663.96 same holiday

Its best always to price it via hotel than BYO to avoid TOD

Best I can find is:

Continental airlines direct flights from BHX continental.com

Out 10th May 09:00-11:50
Back 15th May 19:00-07:05 (16th)

£743.40

Hotel Pennsylvania, booked direct with hotel hotelpenn.com

10th-15th May

$1179.59 ~ £547

TOTAL = £1291

PS: I love the Pennsylvania as well, not the Ritz but for location and price its great!

An alternative, the nearby Hotel Wellington booked with hotelclub.net comes to £478, giving a total of £1221, only slightly cheaper.
