Warning - Driveline/Greatgetaways

Just a warning to others that not all that you see on the Driveline/Greatgetaways (Daily Mail) website when booking a Eurostar city break is the full and final cost.

I just went onto to book Paris for three nights in November in a 3* hotel costing something like £275.54 pp and when I went to select the journey times it was a supplement of £9.20 pp outward and £32.20 on the return journey. So a short break intially costing £275 pp suddenly increases to £316. Why can't they be honest and put these prices up front?

    I've noticed the same thing, so, although I'm on their e-mail list I don't get too excited about their offers. Seems quite common though, hence the new legislation for airline flights where 1P quickly turns into a lot more when you actually come to book it. Don't mind too much if the offer is still value for money, and I've more or less come to expect it, so it's by far not just this company really. Just something else to be factored in, annoying, but still maybe quite a good price in the end. Maybe not, of course.....
