• The Holiday Dates: 21/5/09 - 10 nights (we could leave 1 day later also for 10 nights but I don't think any flights are available).

• Any specific requirements: includes taxi transfer, in-flight meals and 3 checked in bags.
• Is an in-flight meal included: Yes

many thanks in advance for your time
please PM me with details

Thanks for the PM sloppychops but I wanted a package rather than relying on getting a competitive upgrade when I arrive.

Anyway can anyone explain this:

Earlier on Sunday when I first researched this holiday I got a price of £3791.19, when I went to post in this thread I re-checked and got the price quoted here.

Today I checked again at lunchtime I'm booking later tonight and I got a price of £3923.33.

These 3 prices were all from Travelrepublic for EXACTLY the same holiday, same dates etc. etc.

Why the differences? Is it the industry or Travelrepublic? What price will it be later on I wonder?

I work for a similar company to travel republic, I woud give them a call and ask to check the cost of the holiday its does seem low in cost to other agents I have looked at including us

Its the room type that I was falling at, I could see suites but the family suites were more again

Make sure all the holiday details are correct with them over the phone

Thanks
Del
