Thomson Flight

Hi Folks,

Need some help, We are booked to come to Cyprus from Manchester on 4th July flight is TOM2650.

I phoned Thomson to upgrade seats to extra leg room as hubby has long legs but they can only upgrade one of us as my daughter is only 13 and therefore not able to site in extra leg room seats.

From what I%26#39;ve checked the plane is a boeing 757 but I%26#39;ve not been able to find a seating plan for a Thomson plane - does anyone know how they are laid out? Is it two, three , two in rows?

Any help would be gratefully received.

757 seats are 3/3

Thomson don%26#39;t have a page on www.seatguru.com, but check Thomas Cook as there are 3 configurations there.

|||

Thanks for that - I%26#39;ll have a look at Thomas Cook.

Much appreciated.

Cheap Holidays in a more family friendly area of Aiya Napa

Hi wondering if anyone can assist. A family member of mine is getting married in Adams beach in Nissi Bay, cyprus. I cant afford that hotel, Im just wondering if anyone one knows anywhere thats a bit cheaper, but stil clean. The most important thing as well that it needs to be family friendly as I have a nine year old and dont want to get caught up in the clubing scene. The wedding is at the end of this month so I need to book soon.

I was looking at Protaras and that seems ideal really but is it too far from nissi, would it be easy to travel too and from there.

Hope someone can assist

Thanks

Have you thought of renting a private apartmet as i rented one last year at nissi golden sands which is just across the road from adams beach hotel they were brand new apartments with communual pool lovely

and clean large balconys which were a great suntrap we rented ours from protaras property terri lowry was who arranged it all for us.also kapparis property

rent apartments on this site as well.could not fault

a thing we had microwave,washing machine,iron+ironing

board so no need to take travel iron fridge freezer,

cooker all brand new cutlery and crockery still had ikea stickers on

|||

Getting from Protaras to Nissi Beach by taxi / car is a fairly easy trip and should not take more than 30 mins. It is that perennial question of one area being cheaper than another. I have only stayed in the Pavlo Napa hotel near Nissi but that is quite expensive. Other TA%26#39;s may be able to assist with cheaper options of where to stay in the Niss area.

Hope you sort something out and enjoy your holiday.

Please help: Transportation - Larnaca to Ayia Napa

We%26#39;ll be arriving at Larnaca Airport next Friday at 4am.

We%26#39;re looking for information on:

1) How to get from Larnaca to the Napa Plaza hotel in Ayia Napa

2) Approximate cost of transportation

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!

The choice is really between hiring a car for your stay from the airport and returning it when you leave, or getting a taxi. Grabthatcab quote 58 euros each way at night for your journey on their website, if you want to prebook. Alternatively there will be taxis at the airport, just make sure you agree a price before you get in.

|||

Thanks for your response! We definitely won%26#39;t be hiring a car, so a taxi is a good option.

Does anyone else have experience with taxing a taxi from larnaca to ayia napa? Just trying to confirm the price as well as how long it will take.

Thanks again... 1.5 weeks and counting.. CAN%26#39;T WAIT!!!

hi I am going to ayia napa on Monday and have booked my transfers with holiday taxis..

I think the website is www.holidaytaxis.co.uk - if not just google them. they are quite good :-)

aloe hotel, beach towels

i wonder if someone could let me know if this hotel provides beach towels as going next wednesday, thank you in advance for your replies.

|||

You get a towel each for the sun beds by the pool. On check in you are given a card which entails you to a towel per person, I believe they mention not to take them on to the beach but only round the pool. This is because they do not own the beach.

|||

thank you very much for your prompt response

tasiana apts limassol

I have booked Tasiana apts in July, since which time I have read so many awful reviews I am now starting to panic! do I need to book elsewhere. anyone have any opinions, up to date info on state of apts? very grateful for news.

|||

Did you book it because it was the right price for you. If so you should expect basic and now the apartments are getting old but many people still return year after year. Not knowing how much you paid makes it difficult but they still pass the test for the tourist companies just don%26#39;t expect 4* apartments. The position is good not far from the beach and plenty of nightlife and restaurants around.

|||

Thanks for that, I booked it because it looked nice on the pictures, plus seemed to be well situated. I don%26#39;t have such a problem with basic, it was the many reviews/comments about how dirty and in disrepair they were and being unable to do much about it. I would gladly pay more for somewhere, so long as it was clean and good facilities. I looked at my paperwork and have paid £360 for the week for apartment for 4. I just want to have a good holiday with the kids.

Hi Lou - I can%26#39;t find it anywhere on Thomsons site. Have Thomson offered you this instead of Mexico?

If so, I%26#39;d suggest emailing the hotel chain on anassa@thanoshotels.com just to confirm your all inclusive booking with them. Take along any booking confirmation that Thomson have given you as well. Let us know how you get on.

|||

thanks for your prompt reply.

Yes we were supposed to be going to mexico on thursday! sadly that was cancelled and we%26#39;ve found the almyra...i am hoping that thomsons haven%26#39;t got the booking wrong because the hotel looks amazing!!! actually it looks too good to be true....so i am hoping its right!....has anyone been?

i%26#39;ve emailed them and asked about the all inclusive option...i%26#39;ll let you know!

thanks again lou x

|||

Good luck Lou - you could also try sending a PM to Paphos Photographer (another DE on this forum) as I%26#39;m sure she%26#39;s stayed there recently and also based in Paphos.

Hi Lou

sent you a pm

Hi everyone,

In Athens at the moment. Acropolis amazing as usual but closed due to renovations. Weather great.

When I%26#39;m back on Monday, I%26#39;ll speak to the hotel manager for Lou.

Lou, can you send me an PM with your full name and I%26#39;ll ask the manager about you re: the AI query

Hi Lou

Juast called the hotel and they only do Half Board and Full board, they also said they have no intention in the future to go A.I

Kev

|||

Lol Leah - they are renovating the Acropolis!

|||

If you fancy a meal out, opposite the hotel is a restaurant called the adelaida, which does an excellent meal very large portions, free wine with 2 meals, the owner laura is very popular and a lovely lady, they are always busy, have a great time i will be going 7 weeks on thursday.

|||

Hi everyone.

Firstly thanks for being so helpful in providing info and contacting the hotel, it is much appreciated. I do not know what we do without people as helpful as you on Trip Advisor. You have all been brilliant!

We have now cancelled our holiday as it turns out, after making numerous phone called to thomsons, that we were not booked into the almyra at all. Just imagine our disappointment!?!? Thomsons will, needless to say, be getting a very strong letter of complaint for this error! We have already had the disappointment of having our trip to mexico cancelled, now this!!?!?

Anyway we%26#39;ve managed to find a weeks last minute break to the Altantica Aeneas in Nissi Beach. I am just hoping that thomsons haven%26#39;t made another mistake in booking this!?! surely we can%26#39;t be that unlucky!!?

Once again, thank you so much! Lou xx

do you want to make a bet haha, it comes in 3%26#39;s
