Holiday Quote differs when booking

I agree but the when you put in children it does say max age 17 which maybe they should scrap that and use 16 as the max age.

That's a strange one - in all the years we booked Thomsons packages to include No.1 son and heir it was always below 16 where child prices applied.

We did manage one "loophole" deal when he was over that age - that was an AI aparthotel where  self catering aparments went up to 18 - but you could add child price AI - this worked out significantly cheaper than their standard hotel room AI price.

I would never go to another "child friendly" AI hotel again - but that's another story.

Incidentally - I did a quick price check on Holiday Hypermarked - came to £7960 total, although my room permutation may not be the same as your selection.

Self catering showing as £908 pp compared to £1592pp for HB.............you might be better going SC and eating out where a £684pp differential is involved ?

I notice the flight times are about as bad as you'll find.

Hope you find the deal you like.

Will the 17 yo be 18 by the date of travel?  That could also skew the figures.

A very relevant observation.

No she will be 17 at the time if travel, 16 at the moment.
