    There will be extras to add to that price like baggage,flight/fuel supplements,ticket on departure,flight meals/transfers if wanted.You will probably be looking an an extra £30pp- £50pp if that holiday is even there at all as they have a habit of advertising holidays that have long gone and will then go on to offer you others but at an increased price.Rarely do you get a price you have seen on screen with Teletext.
    Your best bet is to call them and see how much this holiday ir really going to be and then come back here.
