    This one isn't like that. I looked it up on otbeach.com and when you select the flight it says its with first choice and I think its direct. This is what it says about the depart. and arrival times:

    Departs Birmingham (BHX) at 08:00
    Arrives Cancun (CUN) at 15:05
    For £599 per person.

    Book them seperate . I hate giving travel agent's extra cash although using alpharooms then one of those flights comes out about the same ., so personally I'd book the room's now and wait till about a month before your departure dates when the flight prices drop. ( I got them for approx £300 last year :shock: ) A few people on here have used alpharooms before and there ok.

    Did your quote include transfers though ?

    Ian :lol:

    Transfers = coach from the airport to your hotel then back from the hotel to the airport at the end of your jollies as there is no cab rank to pick you up at Cancun but you can prebook private hire cars to meet you. .


    Not sure about average price, alot of people fly from different destinations to Cancun and stay in various grades of hotels so it varies Best thing to do is keep searching, try travel republic aswell although alpha rooms are normally cheaper for the same hotel.
