About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
Thanks again for your time earlier. I am SO excited about your birthday trip to Greece, and I'm delighted to send an updated itinerary with a couple of tweaks to make it even better.
First and foremost, I have upgraded your flights to include direct options with British Airways. I've also taken advantage of the current BA sale, meaning the price hasn't been impacted at all.
I have also tweaked your dates to ensure you're in Mykonos for your birthday on the 8th. To really maximise your time away, I have shortened Athens to 3 nights and extended Mykonos to 5. When you see how spectacular the Myconian Utopia is, you'll understand why I made the change for you both.
To make things even better, I've been able to lower your deposit to £1,475. If you love what you're seeing, please let me know ASAP so I can provisionally hold your sale flights.
