If this cost includes a Taxi transfer, bags on the flight and inflight meals I would book this
I suspect the meals and the bags are not in the cost

Just a note of thanks to Del. He spent a great deal of time (and patience) with me to find the right holiday. I missed the original holiday he found - to my cost. But he spent ages looking for alternatives and found me a holiday within my budget.delwynsholidaydeals wrote: »Sent you a PM
