PLEASE NOTE
Flights for this holiday are not included. This is simply to give you the opportunity to choose your own time to fly and from your own choice of airport and on a day that suits you. Also remember that with the low cost airlines, the sooner you book the better price you get! Same as above. Book and pay your deposit before the end of the year and we are able to hold the price for you!
IMPORTANT
It is very important that you take out appropriate holiday insurance that covers you for cancellation as well as medical assistance when abroad. Do not rely on insurance that may be provided by your bank as this often falls short when called upon. For example, you may require your partner to stay on if you are hospitalized or be repatriated if you miss your return flights etc. Make sure also that the insurance offers appropriate covid cover, especially in these uncertain times. Although it is NOT a legal requirement for you to do this, it is a legal obligation for us to advise you and we do so now.
