I wasn’t fussed where we ended up, and since this way was £200 cheaper, it was an easy decision to ...
...resort to resort. Thomson have various brochures incorporating short and long haul breaks, package holidays and discounted no-frills trips. You can book over the phone or in almost all travel agents, but not as yet online at their website.
