It must be for 9 as they state 11th-20th Dec.

delwynshd

I took it as 8 though because the flights usually arrive the following day

Hi,

Can you confirm where you have obtained this quote please?
The Virgin holidays direct website shows a cost of £3433.55 and also makes no mention of a free room upgrade (unless you are a honeymoon couple?? In which case it is subject to availability on arrival - not guaranteed).
Also I believe this hotel is All Inclusive rather than Full Board?

Thanks

Are the agents (and others!) checking this board lately actually getting any response from the people they're helping out?

People have been generally pretty good of late but in the last couple of days I have PM'd 5 people - all of which have come on here asking for our help!

1 I saved £65 off their quote, 1 £40, 1 £267, 1 £404 and 1 £410.00

Not one of these 5 people has responded to me. Despite the fact I have looked at their profiles and 4 of the 5 have been active on the site since I messaged them.

Sorry for the rant! Annoys me sometimes! I know this is a moneysaving site and my prices might not necessarily be the cheapest they get offered but good manners cost nothing and a simple acknowledgement of taking the time to try and help people wouldn't go amiss sometimes!
