    Hi Ian

    I would give the company a call to check if this is a confirmed price, I have look at the 0600 flight which is a thomas cook departure and the cost of the flights are around 300pp, first choice has the holiday on different flight times however the cost is more than the price below

    Somtimes companys will have deals on there sites however when you call you may find that there are extras to be added, it could be a leading in cost

    I have tried to get the hotel on accomodation only from all the suppliers we use and unfortunately cant seem to find it so im unsure of how they have produced this cost

    Thanks
