    Hi Jiggy

    The £100 NHS discount you get from TUI direct beats the discount I could give you so book that direct

    Hi Joseph

    If you are going to travel with just a small cabin bag each max 45x36x20cm which the above only includes then I cant beat it  (i can see yours includes Transfers though) 
    But I can do you a package with Easyjet Holidays that includes a 23kg suitcase in hold each, and the cabin bag, and Transfers plus some other benefits as you become Easyjets responsibility if flights get cancelled etc for £1995 
    I cant help on the single rooms though

    Hey, figured I'd give this a try given the hotel seems weirdly expensive for the dates, but I need the specific hotel for an event near it:

    LHR to CPH, Business, Thursday 24th November 8:15am -> Monday 28th November midday
    Staying at Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, King bed with Breakfast.

    Price seems to vary a lot over the last couple of days, but best price atm seems to be around £875.
