Impressed.

Where are you flying from and what day?

I booked 9 flights to PP for May half term in October. Just under £400 per person return which was cheapest price I could get over the two months i was monitoring them. So £1200 for just 3 flights - thats with Jet 2, EMA, Sat-Sat of half term.

We had villa, car hire and airport parking on top.

I love PP we go every year but are giving it a miss this summer we're having a break after last year turned to disaster due to the chauvinist pig we were with.

I have had many drunken nights in Boneys, their cocktail are lethal. We always get a warm welcome. I'll miss it but just need a break. I'm thinking kalcan in Turkey.

That's an amazing deal op! Enjoy Envy

It really depends. Perhaps wait until the holiday is a success then demand plaudits? Because 1k is only a good deal if you're not staying somewhere with exposed electrical wires round the pool, drunken staff, building work on next door and a transfer which doesn't turn up.

Well, somebody had to put a dampener, didn't they!!
I'm sure the OP has done some research on where she's staying aer. A low cost flight is a low cost flight. You get what you pay for. I've used resort hoppers for transfers without problems, and flown Monarch along with other low cost airlines without issue.
Lots of people pay over the odds for holidays and end up having a less than wonderful experience.
I have flown with BA three times, and had my flight times changed on two of those occasions. Angry. Never happened to me with Easyjet, and I have flown with them many times.

OP you should lend your services as travel consultant. I've been holiday hunting and can't find anything close.
