    Baggage, online check in, RyanAir's handling fee and transfers in Spain are included.

    This is for a hen weekend, so trying to keep costs down. Are also considering booking flights, transfers and accommodation separately, with flights remaining the same but staying at Riviera Hotel, Santa Susanna via quickrooms (half board) or Stella Maris, Blanes via alpharooms (half board).

    i have booked a holiday with a travel agent and in less than a week of booking it the price has dropped.

    what i am asking is there a 'cooling off' period like insurance where i can get out of the booking so i can re book it at the lower price. i did ring around last week and got the best price i could but it has now dropped on the net. i put a deposit down of £100 and the remainder is due this month. any info would be good.

    thanks
