change of aircraft. Some of the US & Canadian flights advertised may involve
a change of aircraft.
The holidays listed as available and the prices shown were correct at the date that
they were received from the tour operators who provide us with the information but
cannot be guaranteed until you have checked with us first.
Prices for holiday packages and flights are in sterling for return trips, per person.
Half board and catered deals are normally based on two people sharing, however this
does sometimes vary. Any under occupancy supplements will be advised at time of
booking. Self catering prices are based on maximum occupancy of the apartment. Supplements
