    Hi jammmer

    As said before theres not a lot we can do on Thomsons stuff
    There is a slightly better flight time the day after - see below - not a lot better but a bit and its not much more
    If you want a really nice flight time then Thomsons have them but they arent cheap -just search alternative dates on their site
    Its a Thomson Exclusive hotel so im gonna be pretty much the same price as their website so you may as well book direct and do cashback

    if you want to save money pick a hotel with someone like Jet2Holidays, Thomas Cooks etc and send me a PM i'll beat any of their holidays like for like - but if you want this specific hotel book direct as above

    alternative flight

    Departing: Sat 15 Jul 2017 15:50

    Hi Jammer

    Now we're talking!

    Instead of £979 i'll do £879 saving you £100 for the Side Sea View

    Sea View adds £35 per person
