    Hi swinstan

    Ive included 20kg hold bags and a Private Minibus the other end to make sure my quote is complete

    I can do this like for like for £897 each saving you just over £300

    There is only one extra legroom left on each flight - 12a outbound and 26d on the inbound and i can add this for £40 return but yiou'll have to be quick - there are no other extra legroom seats left

    Booking fee? No
    Operator: Thompson
    Hotel: Barut Kemer
    Dep airport: Manchester
