Hi

I have had a look at this online with Sovereign Holidays, The first flight the search brings up is a Thomas cook flight, you can change to the Thomson flight at 146 total. The total cost that is on the webiste is 6103.00 for the room with the private pool.

The cost stated above is incorrect I thought this did seem awfully cheap for this hotel!!!

Thanks
Del

Well i have just checked this with Sovereign and the price or £4488 is correct and not £6103 as you mention Del.

That cost is based on a thomas cook departure if you go through the holiday and change the flight as stated to the thomson flight and upgrade the room to the Porto Deluxe Room Private Pool x 1 which is on the quote, also it adds private transfers of 75 each way

it totals to 6103.00

Nope the quote i got when checking was definetly the Thomson one and there was no need for any changes as it was the Thomson one that came up not Thomas Cook.

Just checked again and it is definetly the Thomson flight and all extras as mentioned above at £4488 so i am not sure what you are doing to get it at £6103.

Yep its adding on £1048 for the upgraded room (original price before room upgrade was £3521 minus taxi transers and any discounts) so its not impossible.Its just strange that you aint getting this price.Got hubby to check on his pc and he is also getting £4488.
Yep its definetly the same website as well.

ha ha sloppy chops I have been pricing it based on two weeks I hold my head in shame lol, Sorry

That is why!! DOH!! its been a long day

Just had a look at the options on the correct duration, and the only operator I can see it with is Olympic and the costs just aint good at all with them. Think this is the best they will get they are getting alot of web discount

Could anyone beat this please?

Return flight for 1 pax.
EDI to SEA.
Out 17th December - Rtn 7th January
but the dates are flexible a few days either side on both flights.

The lowest I can find is £496 on the exact dates with KLM changing at Schipol.
If there are any reasonable business class deals that would also be considerd.

Thanks in advance.
