yes,
they are good at doing that,:veryangry: but there is a way round some of the added costs,
tell them you don't want the disgusting in flight meals,and although its supposedly for a charity, you don't want to make the contribution, that should knock the price down a bit
travel agents can take alll the extras off that you dont want included anyway
i think first choice are a good example of tour operator that lets YOU decide what extra you want to pay for!
good luck anyway

[Holly Dayze]

Have you actually compared it to prices to go elsewhere yet?

It's the school holiday week, and I think you'll find that other holidays will also be more expensive at that time.

We had 2 weeks in June for less than 1 week cost the previous October, but when doing price comparisons with other resorts Gran Canaria came out fairly well in comparison to other resorts I may have contemplated.

i feel sorry for them that have lost money...they are reporting another 4 airlines in trouble...did not name them though...easyjet are one..that said they would just breka even..which means the bankers may call in thier debts.!!!!!
