I've started looking at next year already and have decided on the Sirenis Seaview again as we had a great time there at the beginning of the month so toddles off to the travel agents to get some prices.
Big difference this time round is were taking my mother in law with us so that takes us to 3 adults & 2 kids which means we need 2 studios.
Travelcare (who gave us a great deal last year) quoted us £1960 for 7 nights self catering as we're upgrading to half board when we get there.
Airtours website quoted us £1810 for the same dates & flights.
A bit pricey i thought, so i set about searching for some flights & mailed the Seaview and asked if we could book direct with them.
Found some good flights from Leeds/Bradford, £445 for all of us with Jet2 and started thinking i was going to be able to save us a few quid here.
Recieved a mail from the Seaview this afternoon however
They want to charge us £1350 for 7 nights self catering!!! I've just looked on the airtours site and their price has gone down by £40 so its now cheaper to book through Airtours than it is to book direct!!
How daft is that?
when pricing up booking direct in August peak period.I find it cheaper to book with Thomas Cook for the Caribe In Ea Cana than book
direct to the hotel or a hotel agency.Out of this period it is cheaper.
I was looking at Booking the Seaview for June but Airtours have pulled the Sunday morning flight from Newcastle and their is only the friday night flight from newcastle or Teesside.
Have you priced it up with direct holidays, i find they work out cheaper than airtours for the same holidays.
Direct holidays are about £80 more expensive as the airtours price came down by £40 yesterday
I can get a week half board at fiesta bahamas 3 ads 2 children for 1760 in middle June. your price looks expensive for self catering unless its in the school hols
We're going on the 24th to the 31st August, last week of the hols as my son starts secondary school in september so cant have him missing the start!
I checked airtours just being curious and it was only 1917 if u donthave flight meals lol or 2399 half board without flight meals but including family first club if you needed it. These prices were from leeds/bradford, but its cheaper from teesside ....only 2363 hb without flight meals
Cheapest i've found now is on Airtours going from Newcastle - £1773 self catering as we're upgrading to half board when we get there as its cheaper.
Make that £1746 now, its just come down by nearly £30 in the space of an hour
Im pleased Im not stuck with school holidays......only £1455 for us 2ad 2 ch half board inc flight meals and late check out and pre booked seats............loads cheaper. I feel for you really :
The reason its so expensive now is because we have to have 2 rooms to accomodate the extra person going with us
yeah i understand. We only paid 1270 for 2 weeks half board 2 ad 2 ch in may..................gotta go for 2 weeks lol 1 isnt long enough for me
