    The Quote itself: £1313
    Who the quote is from: Thomson, on internet
    Is there a booking fee: Credit card charge of £3.25 for deposit only, rest to be paid by cheque when necessary.
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson, Airline I presume is their own, Bahia Princess hotel, Costa Adeje, tenerife
    The departure Airport/Post: London (Preferably Stansted)
    The Holiday Dates: 13/3/09 return 20/3/09
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Bahia Princess
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Half Board
    Any specific requirements: This is for a 25th wedding anniversary so I want something decent. I believe this hotel has some larger suites but I can't find how to book them. Ths quote was for a queen bedded room. Additional requests for extra legroom on flight (£40 each), late checkout room (£23), and taxi from airport to hotel & return (£41).
    Is an in-flight meal included: No.

    It looks as though only Thomson and Portland use this hotel, but I'm sure someone will be able to advise me on that - and probably prove me wrong.
    Many thanks in anticipation.
    Martin.

    Hi, I'm after 2 non-stop return flights to GOA from Gatwick ideally on the 26th December 2008 for 3 weeks (slightly flexible within 1-2 days). Current quote is £785 each departing Gatwick on Fri 26th December @ 18.10 arriving GOA @ 09:10 on the 27th Dec returning on 16th Jan @ 10:50am. Think the quote was with a company called Air Flights and it did state that the airline was yet to confirm times so i'm a little wary. Can anyone beat this?
    thanks everyone:D
