    Ring OTB

    They dont confirm the price as soon as you book they have a habit of calling customers back to advise of flight prices rising

    Give them a buzz and confirm that this is the final cost inc baggage and transfers

    Im in the RAF working in Oman at the minute soringing them up will cost me quite a bit. So they let you enter card details etc and then ring you up to say the price has risen and charge you more?
