Actually I just checked both sites, first choice is 629 and Thomson is 598 for our dates. 1 seat left! Not sure what dates your price is for? My sister says she called them and the price hasn't been 499£ for September this year. If anyone gets 498£ that's great!

Shariuno, please correct me if I’m wrong….but I saw the £499 as well for 2 wks, but it doesn’t include all the other hidden charges that Amarg mentioned (check-luggage, departure tax, seat selection, etc)

But totally agree with you…point A to B is the way forward and less stressful. Though connection via MIA is equally competitive (price wise) and I believe it's all inclusive!

I just went on both websites again and put in our dates, sept 18 to oct 2. The prices are still as I indicated- around £600. Then I decided to call Thomson myself although they charge a per minute customer service rate on top of the ling distance I'm paying from Canada. Funnily enough, the prices the rep quoted me on the phone are even higher than the online prices. Also, there are only a few seats left apparently so the prices are higher and according to her will remain the same in the foreseeable future.
So now I'm really wondering where you guys saw the £499 price and for what dates? Flights? Thanks.
