My parents are looking at going to Malta from Cardiff in September, and according to the Thomson website, a week HB in the Qawra Palace Hotel for the two of them would cost £900 in total. However, by choosing flights and hotel separately it would cost £658 (£377.96 for flights and £280 for accommodation).
Does anyone know if it is possible to book the two separately with Thomson, to get the cheaper price, or is there something in their T&C which does not allow it? I have had a look but cant find anything.
Go to a Thomson Shop and they will book it for you.Just print off the information from the website and they will match the price.
But the flights and hotels separately are both with Thomson, their package costs the £900 but if you book them separately, again with Thomson it comes up a lot cheaper.
I priced a Thomson hotel and flight separately and it was about half the brochure price.I asked at the Thomson shop if they booked them separately and they advised me they did.The reason I went to the shop is because I have not got a printer and am not confident to book on line.I would go ahead and book it.Another HT member booked a holiday this way in June to Turkey and saved a fortune.
The only real difference is that you are not booking a 'package holiday' as such & are not covered by the package tour regulations.
But to all intents and purposes it is the same holiday. You will probably have to either book your own transfers or book transfers on their site and pay for them as an extra. Still chaper than booking the 'package'
Good Luck, Doe
Why not try booking the flights with Air Malta or GB Airways! then add the price of £15 each way for a taxi transfer to the hotel.
