I think when our flight was full they had a later one on sale, but all flights now sold out with First Choice from Gatwick.

only another 4 weeks and 6 day s to go read somewhere the water park wasnt very good but oasis safari was excellant did you hear anything have you been before to fuerta :) :hols

MickD - you got your dates wrong - its 3 weeks and 6 days isn't it?

Yes I heard the water park wasn't great and it was quite far from Jandia. Oasis Park is supposed to be good, so I'm planning on doing that one.

Never been to Fuerte before, but been to Lanzarote MANY times and loved it - never AI though.

well we will find out soon enough did you need to give your passport numbers to fc i heard that spain brought in a new law that required you to but not sure if fuerta is classed as spain even though its got euros AND its not in the eu confusing eh must be the irish in me :)

No I haven't - have you? Maybe we do it at the airport when we check-in?

One of our friends is going to ring fc in the morning to check on it

Our tickets are here! :tup I was slightly confused because our baggage allowance is 23kg, we have pre-booked seats and free meals and when I rang 1st Choice they confirmed it is because Occidental Grand is a Premier property, so these things are free! :)

I asked about giving passport information, and they don't need it.

Does anyone know if the In Room safe and Mini Bar is free of charge or payable locally? My other half was looking on the official website and it says a fee was payable, but I'm sure I read somewhere that these are free.

Mini bar used to be free but i heard they charge now i think the safe is still free bit not sure dont know if our tickets came we done a block booking so it all goes to one person i suppose they will be here soon :cheers

Just to let you know, I had an email from First Choice and they do not require passport details.

Also I emailed the hotel and they confirmed the safe is free but the mini bar is payable.

They are only plastic around the pool. In the evenings you get glasses. My husband drinks beer and was getting 2 at a time as they are quite small glasses. The spirit glasses are tall thin tumbler-type.
