Thanks to Matt re the post above. He also looked at another option using Thomas Cook at Aska Lara resort for me.
Ended up booking upgraded room, private taxi transfer & late checkout.
He saved me over £170 on Thomas Cook directs price bringing me down to £2672 overall.
Basically paid for all the "extras".
He books it all for you before you even transfer a penny.
Great service and highly recommended albeit he will admit he wont be able to save you much/anything on TUI (Thomson). Jet2 and TC certainly giving discounts via his service,and his private taxi deal certainly far better than the tour ops.0 -
