Grand Pineapple in Antigua?? you have put flights to Jamaica??I am a Travel Agent
My company’s ATOL/ABTA numbers are L318X. MSE doesn't check my status as a Travel Agent, so you need to take my word for it. ATOL numbers can be checked with the Civil Aviation Authority. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Travel Agent Code of Conduct.0 -
Sorry - it is Antigua. I'm getting a bit confused!
Thanks for your help, Kim0 -
Sorry one more thing - who are the flights with - you say BA but also Premium economy which is Virgin. BA do world traveller plus.

Thanks casevlloyds. The Sandals lady said it was with BA, so assume it's world traveller plus in that case.
