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

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?
