  • Hi, I have booked my flights, ready to book accommodation now....I have a pretty keen quote but wondered if anyone is able to beat it!

    The Quote itself:
    Who the quote is from:ww.saniholidays.com
    Is there a booking fee: no fee but 2.35% surcharge to pay by MasterCard, which is how I intend to pay (approx £23)
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Oceania Club Hotel, Halkidiki, Greece
    The departure Airport/Post: London Gatwick (flights already booked)
    The Holiday Dates: Thursday 19 April - Sunday 29 April 2012
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults, 1 four year old child and 1 one year old infant (4 in total)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Oceania Club Hotel, Nea Moudania, Halkidiki, Greece
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All inclusive
    Any specific requirements: junior suite room required or better
    Is an in-flight meal included: n/a

    The best quote found is through saniholidays website, 10 nights all inc in junior suite £975.14 (which also includes a free 100 euro spa treatment credit to be used during the stay) + credit card fee £22.92 = £998.06

    Ideally I would like to find this cheaper but as we also need return airport transfers in Greece too maybe this can be included into the price.

    Thanks in advance!
