-
Glad you enjoyed so much that you want to go again :)
-
You can also p.m. me I have the direct booking prices for kapetanios if you can source flights cheaply.
-
The flights are always the key Lesley
-
thanks lesley will keep that in mind.. ;)

I must say that my first preference in "normal" holidays for us (as in going as just a couple not a party), would be to go independently.
However, price is a big factor for everyone as well.
If you can find cheap flights, and the accommodation price is reasonable for a nice apartment,
that is my first choice every time, over a hotel.
Like everything else, circumstances also dictate, so this year it's a hotel for all the family with half board, so the younger members in my party,
can eat every day and not worry about blowing the food budget! (we will still pop out for a better meal quite a lot).
But next time - we will change it back to independent unless we are priced out of that option.
I would always prefer to put money directly into the village than Thomson's or Thomas Cook!!
-
some good points there tony.....i have been looking at a lot of options...just need to sit down with hubby and see were the pennies will stretch too.. ;) ;)

Wondering when return flights released.

Keep an eye on Ryanair's site also, nothing on there at the minute, but they appeared good value this year, which I noticed, of course, after I'd bought nine return flights with Easyjet.

Checked Thomsons today - 2 weeks at Little Prince flying from Glasgow 15th June 2012 is now £665.00 each!!! When I priced it beginning of July it was £570.00 OUCH.....Greedy Thomsons >:( - Pricing themselves out of the game I think :(
-
Agree, we are restricted to school hols and the flight prices from Scotland are crazily priced. Package prices are stupid too.
Check Thomas Cook flights from Glasgow - they are the best price we've found for next year.
-
The prices change almost weekly. Just keep tracking them and jump when you reckon it won't go much lower. Two weeks at LP varied for the same July fortnight between £486 and £623 earlier this year. I did it at £492, which wasn't a bad guess!
-
Thanks for information - love going to Little Prince, been going last four years but was seriously thinking of having to go elsewhere in resort - will keep checking. Going back for a week in September so hopefully will have next year booked by then. If not will check out finding accomodation independently (as long as I can get air-conditioning in apartment), would really miss LP but Thomson's being very greedy just now!!!!

Here is my thought for the brave hearted.
I base this on my own plans for next year.
Thomson price Romanza from Newcastle on 15th June 2 weeks/2 people 1490 pounds
Romanza direct booking price 490 euros with 11%discount if you pay full amount when booking.Price in pounds 385.
385 +100 for taxi transfer=485 pounds.
This leaves me the grand sum of 1005 pounds to purchase 2off last minute flights.
Airports available to me Leeds,Newcastle,Doncaster.If necessary Manchester and East Midlands are possibilities.
We are talking mid June not peak season.Can it be done.Based on last years last minutes the answer is yes,with 700 pounds left over for spending money.
I may live to regret it but faint heart never won fair lady
You can apply this to any direct booked accommodation.
