page along side a booking button. By clicking on 'Book' you will be taken to the start of the booking process.

Charter airlines such as Thomson and Thomas Cook allow you to buy meals, if available these will be offered as optional extras on the final booking page. A meal/snack is included with scheduled flights such as British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Transfers
A private transfer is a taxi or vehicle reserved completely for your party. The private transfer will be waiting for you on arrival and will take you directly to your hotel or apartment.
Private transfers are normally more expensive than a shuttle bus/coach transfer due to them being quicker than a shuttle, door-to-door and exclusively reserved for you.
A shuttle transfer is usually a shared bus or coach, which sometimes entails waiting for other passengers and making stops at additional locations. Occasionally, the transfer will be collecting passengers from two or three flights.
The waiting times will be kept to a minimum but shuttle transfers do take longer than private transfers and this is reflected in the price difference.
All collection times are given as an approximate guideline and are not always accurate due to the nature of shuttle transfers and the delays that can be encountered.
All transfer types include 1 suitcase per person as the standard luggage allowances. If you require any additional luggage before you travel such as car seats, golf clubs etc. you will need to contact us before departure to arrange this. There may be an additional local charge for any excess luggage. Passengers take full responsibility for their own luggage on all types of transfers.
Website
If you have any problem with the site, or question you haven't found the answer for here, please use our contact help page. This can be found here.
The "offer box" gives you finer detail about the offer you are interested in, as well as how long the offer has been on the site for. This gives you a better indication to whether it's still available, with a Check Availability button that will do all the hard work for you.
