Packyourbags.com
?
Packyourbags.com
is one of the first late availability sites that allows you to check 'live' availability
of your selected holiday in real time, giving you 100% accurate pricing once you
have made an availability search. Many tour operators 'lead in' price excludes taxes
and airport transfers and can be based on a specific number of people sharing a
room. For this reason you may notice a difference between the initial 'lead in'
price and the final price payable. Where there is a difference in price we clearly
identify what the differences are.
