Flights to Faro

Kent Escapes Flight only
OB 18th Oct IB 25th Oct 2 Adults £538
TAP dates not available but OB 18th IB 28th 2 adults £559.80
EZY Not available
Monarch Dates not available but OB 16th IB 25th 2 Adults 257.68
Thomsonfly Dates not available but OB 18th IB 28th 2 Adults £217

Result is yes you can do it cheaper but taxi to LGW return £150 or Parking £85 Plus fuel 150 miles at 25p per mile £37.50. Plus at least 2 nights extra accomodation and costs.

Probably not a lot in it.

So MSE is not such a bargain after all??

Kent Escapes are a package holiday co and so they will fly you to FAO but will want to add on their lost hotel profit, which is not unreasonable.

The person who wrote the article is being a little 2 faced! On the one hand he/she is saying that people from Thanet cannot afford inflated prices but on the other he/she is suggesting that they would be willing to pay higher prices all year to subsidise the school holiday rates?? He may have more luck writing to the hoteliers in Faro who know only too well the academic calendars in the UK and the rest of Europe

Sitting on the fence

DAS
Heard about the problems with DAS but these apparently relate to quite a while ago. I also heard that there were other circumstances which added to the problems.

Hopefully if and when DAS restart ops MSE provide a quality service.
