    The Board (self catering/half board etc): AI
    Any specific requirements: No
    Is an in-flight meal included: No

    This was a special deal to travel at depart 18:00 and arrive 21:40 going out and depart 22:15pm and arrive 23:55pm coiming back. There was a nicer flight which gave us longer away which goes out 06:15am and arrives in Majorca 09:35am and comes back departing 10:10pm and arrives in Bristol 11:30pm. However the second better option has a total holiday cost of £611.

    Thank you

    he Board (self catering/half board etc): All inclusive
    Is an in-flight meal included: No



    The best deal was first choice - no meals, the luggage was 23kg included, as Thomas Cook is only 15kg.
    First Choice also offer private taxi - £53 (guessing thats boths way or is it £53 each way), or coach free.

    Depoist - First Choice £75.00 per person
    As for sitting together, - need to apply for the medical seats, spinal and hip condition- and deficultly mobility -on crutches

    Thank you in advance.

    apologies if I sound too picky, we should of been in Tunisia now, but darling daughter came down with Chicken Pox 2 days before we were due to fly, also due to mobility, I've been to the hotel before so know its manageable, stay in touch with one of the reps, so she gets me a room thats not far away from the bar!!

    Looking at booking by Tuesday
