    If you can get this holiday minus 4% so price at 1065.00

    I would book it, OTB tend to add extras on when you go to book

    Give them a call to make sure this is here

    Who the quote is from: First Choice - in store
    Is there a booking fee: no. (but there is an 'agent saving' of 102.00 which is already deducted in the price above.)
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Supplier: Thompson. Airline: ?
    The departure Airport/Post: Luton. out: 10.00 am return flight: 14:20
    The Holiday Dates: 08 feb 2010 to 15 feb 2010. 7 nights. We are flexible - we can leave up to a week later.
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults. early 30s.
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Maspalomas/Tabaiba Pricess. 4*. we could be flexible, but dont want a nasty surprise! (i've found cockroaches before!)
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): half board. (all inc would be nice but it looks too expensive.)
    Any specific requirements: not really.
    Is an in-flight meal included: yes. It's a thomson Platinum so also included is: 23kg checked luggage, priority transfer.

    Hi, if anyone can help i'd be grateful. We're looking at Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. We want swimming/sun/relaxation/trip to museum ect - we liked Rhodes 2yrs ago but it's a bit cold there now. The hotel looks like its got a very nice pool but we can be persuaded to a different one/resort/destination if you know better :D. Thank you!
