  • Hi

    I would appreciate any help you can give. We have to travel on either 13th or 14th March for seven nights to the Canary Islands, preferably Tenerife. I have my heart set on either the Bahia Principe Costa Adeje or the Luabay Costa Los Gigantes, which are both coming up over my budget of max. £500 pp AI, preferably to include transfers. The latest quote I have is as follows - is it likely to go down if I wait until even closer to the date of travel?

    The Quote itself: £559.94 per person
    Who the quote is from: 2bookaholiday.com
    Is there a booking fee: Cannot find any mention of one on the site but I expect there will be a credit card charge.
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Airline - Thomson
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates: Sunday 14th to 21st March 2010
    The number of people travelling: 2
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Bahia Principe Costa Adeje
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): AI
    Any specific requirements: No
    Is an in-flight meal included: No - don't require one but would like transfers

    Thanks
  • Give them a call to confirm this price it doesnt seem to be correct

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Phoned them and they have it at £309 but there is a two hr stop over in Athens or £369 with a charted flight straight there.

    What you think?
