Hi,
don't know if this is any use to anyone.
Received through the post today (as I supose did thousands of other people) a leaflet from First Choice offering £100 off any holiday booked from Tropical or Florida brochures (I assume Goa is in their tropical) if you book by phone and quote"767 loyalty offer"
Phone no 0870 750 0001
Holidays must be booked by30 June 2006 and be taken between 1 November 2006 and 31 October 2007
I can't use it as we have already booked and I am not sure if the code is private to me , but anyone can feel free to try and benefit from it
del 949
let the buyer be aware
over 11 days for 2 = £449 click on = £1128 a further check it was for 1 week
singles holiday over 11 days = over £900 and that was for one week
I think I will keep looking
lez
the quote HAS to be from phone call,,,,only!
Possibly the reason that you got a second quote for only a week is the way their website works, I have had the same problem myself.
No idea what the prices are, but the option to save £100 is still there.
I don't claim that this will be a good deal but anyone who has decided to book via first choice may as well phone and give it a try.
best wishes

Lez - how long are you going for again? Direct Holidays have one hotel in Calangute where the single supp is cheap, £1 per night last year, not sure if it's the same for next winter but it's cheap anyway. Don't know off the top of my head but I'm sure other hotels have cheap single supps too.
We booked 2 weeks for 5 people at the Going Places shop, they gave us a discount of £185, so the total cost is £2900.
I personally find it disgraceful that to book my holiday or to make an enquiry after paying I am being ripped off by premium rate numbers.
Just think of it this way.You are giving the travel agent your hard earned money and that is not enough they have to s...w you out of more every time you ring.
Thank heaven for the internet.It allows me to email all these companies and vent my fury.I now always book through the internet as this winds me up so much.
Sorry Fiona if this strays too far off topic.Feel free to delete me.
Not to get off topic but many of you may be unaware that to phone First Choice or for that matter most travel agents and other businesses almost always now involves ringing an 0870 prefix.This can cost up to 12p a minute and amounts to a premium rate phone call.
Anyone who is interested in booking with First Choice to get the offer that Del has mentioned could always use http://www.saynoto0870.com where you might just find a geographical number for them
Yeah I use that site all the time.Does not excuse the greed though.
