It is actually only 5 nights, you arrive at 10.15pm on 30/4 so it’s gonna be past midnight before you get to hotel after clearing immigration etc, so that’s your first night almost gone. You depart on the 5/5 at 5.30pm so you do get upto lunchtime to do stuff before going to airport.0 -
Did you notice the extra fees payable direct to the hotel? When I did a 6 night search they came to £224+. Should be slightly less for your 5 nights.
That connection at SEA on the outbound is a little tight for my liking. You have to clear US CBP at that point. That said, hopefully SEA won’t be as busy as a routing via JFK/LAX/ATL.
Looks like you have found a good deal. Let’s hope your luck stays with you for the tables.0 -

Im not a million miles out but I am dearer so I'll have to pass on this one
Also when i went to booking stage i got "WARNING - CLASS AVAILABILITY MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT ON CERTAIN FLIGHTS" so you may (may not definitely) struggle to book it
The reason for the big difference in flight price could be down to IT (Inclusive Tour ) fares
Its a good deal - if you can buy it and pay with a Credit Card - and as Westin says if you can find a better connection do thatI am a Travel AgentI’ve sent you a PMMy company’s ABTA/ATOL numbers are G9172/6053.

I cant beat that price - its £100 less than the TUI website even with the SALKE code added
I can beat their website price (though not by much tbh)
