Hi, If your'e travelling to Arillas by coach from the airport, then you can organise car hire when you arrive in Arillas. You'll easily find out all you want to know. I would suppose that if you really want to do it in advance, though, you should check elsewhere on the forum posts, as there was a conversation about this a while back. I'm sure someone will come on to tell you more about it. I just don't like to think somebodys questions go unanswered! Have a great holiday. Maggie. :wink:

Judith,
         that happened us with Thomson (look under "Angry" in the Forum) and they transfered our booking to Glasgow and gave £100 compensation which paid for 2 easyjet and a night in a hotel at Glasgow airport! Go for it !
        If you want any more info drop me a mail,
                                   Ivan

Hi Ivan,it was Thomson who cancelled our holiday and we booked eight months ago and only had two months to wait!!They told us that they have pulled all flights from Belfast in October time as they can't fill them.When I went to Lunn Poly to sort it,we were offered a full refund but we got the holiday at a bargain price so wasn't worth it.I suggested flying from Glasgow as I have a friend who works at P&O who could get discount for trip over,but prices were coming up at over £600!!We didn't even think of Easy Jet to be honest,as we were still pretty stunned when they offered us a holiday to Ibiza instead.We felt that we had no choice but to accept this holiday if we wanted to get away this year.The extra on this holiday was paid by thomson,but we only were offered £25 per person,so I doubt we could've even got a flight as cheap as that out.I'm goging to complain to Thomson-I was so prepared to go see Arillas and I had researched it so much!!Its just not fair-also this holiday to Ibiza rips us off a day of our holiday due to travelling times. :cry: Ivan if you have any advice for this whole situation,I'd gladly like to here!!
Hi Anna,I can't afford to get the flights over to Arillas independantly this year,but I will definitely try for next year.If you read above,I was pressured into taking another holiday as the prices for Corfu flying from Glagow were so expensive.I'm still disappointed by it but I'm trying to look forward to my new holiday now,even though Ibiza is not my ideal place at all!!

Hi Judith,
sorry to hear about your problems ! Thompson seem to do this often,
anyway make the best of what you got for now, but its a shame you didn't come on to the Forum before because there is an abundance of info regarding everything in Arillas, there is a web site for late deals and cancellations that Eileen had put on, I'll find it later if you need it?
Ivan had the same thing , he'll tell you the best to do, if its to late now? make sure you ask all of us on Forum next time.
We go twice a year now ,have been for last 4 years.
Best of Luck.

I know I would've been straight into the forum except for the fact I'm currently moving out of my parents house and I was in my own house at the time which has no internet connection!! :evil: It was the first thing I said to my partner! :lol: But I felt that I didn't have many options,I was maybe made to feel this way just so I'd agree to another holiday by Lunn Poly,I don't know.I wish I could get away twice a year,but I'm still a student so no chance of that for a while!! :roll: Unfortunately we have agreed to this other holiday now,so we'll go and anyways I guess its good to see another place.But we have definitely decided to go to Arillas next year and I will try to book this independantly.I'll let you know how it goes closer to booking time.I'm sure I'll need more advice then!! :oops:  :lol:

Thanks Dimitris for finding those holidays for me,but unfortunately my boyfriend has booked off work for the first week in October and probably won't be able to change that,but I ask him to just make sure.They are good offers though on the holidays,reasonable prices!!If I don't make it this year,I'll definitely make it next year.I was looking forward to visiting your taverna to sample some delicious food!!

8) Judith,
             I booked direct with Thomson on the web. If you really want to go to Arillas I'd ring them direct (0870 550 2590) explain how much getting to Arillas meant to you, so much that you would fly from Glasgow, is there any way this could be done etc etc.  You will probably find them more helpful than Lunn Poly. If your holiday to Ibiza is with Thomson I'd give it a go as Arillas, for me anyway knocks spots off Ibiza, or indeed anywhere in Spain. Good luck if you go for it and don't be backward about asking- they want to keep you a happy customer

Thanks Ivan,I wish I'd fought harder with Lunn Poly and Thomson,but at the time Iwas pretty shocked and so decided to go to Ibiza as it was the only option they gave us.I'm planning to go to Arillas next year but this year I think I'll just look forward to a week in the sun,in Ibiza and try to foget about the mess that has been made of my holiday!!I'm still disappointed about not getting to Corfu,but we've committed ourselves to Ibiza and as we are a young couple we are happy to see another part of the world!But I know so much about Arillas now,it would be heartbreaking not to visit soon.
