    (perhaps need some advise too as holiday not until 2010, has to be specific hotel as going to a friends wedding!

    The Quote itself: £2074.00
    Who the quote is from: Thomson
    Is there a booking fee: yes, £30pp
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson, St George Hotel, Paphos, Cyprus
    The departure Airport/Post: Glasgow
    Holiday Destination : Cyprus
    The Holiday Dates: April 7th 2010 (14 nights but I'll look at 7 if the date includes 15th!)
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults,
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): St George Hote, Paphos
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
    Is an in-flight meal included: Yes

    Sorry to be a pain, but can someone please check the above or am I correct in thinking the only place that can book this is Thomsons? The hotel doesn't seem to offer all inclusive on their website?

    Thanks!
