Suprised they quoted that. Go and book it if they'll honour it, keep quiet about the price and hope they do. Someones made a mistake. I used to work in a Thomas Cook shop and the most they can go to is 10% off viewdata price which is currently £3936 = £3542 someone will be getting into trouble if they book it you at £3200.00 - the branch will have to pay Thomas Cook Tour Operations £3936 less their commission at 14% so approx £3380 so someone will literally be paying for you to go on holiday!!
Good luck hope their honour it for you!crabbman2004 wrote: »Thanks! Yeh did think it was a good deal..managed to get TC to knock quite a biit off in one of their branches....:beer:0
