    Hi Poppet18m

    As you may have seen from previous replies theres not a lot we can do on Thomson ones

    The best price I can do on this one is £1238 - everything else like for like and you will still be going with Thomsons - same flights, luggage, transfers, reps etc - the only advantage is you will get help submitting passports, chasing tickets etc

    Hi Fay

    I dont know if there are any Virgin Holidays Agents on here - I dont think so - but just so you know Virgin Holidays dont sell through normal Travel Agents anymore - they have gone Direct Sell only so they only sell through their Call Centre and their own shops - you may know that already so sorry if you did - i just thought ity useful to post
