    Hi

    I think you may have posted the hotel cost here and not the total including the flights

    The flights are 127.00 plus 18pp bags, the hotel is around 380.00 for the 2 pax 7 nights BB

    Thanks

    Give them a call to book it then because the flights were 163.00 for both of you with bags (easyjet)

    Which would mean the room rate for 7 nights is 229.00 for both of you

    I think this is a mistake I can 90% say this holiday wont be there
