Golden Bull winners 1984


  • British Airways for a holiday brochure

'Apartments. In the case of apartment holidays, the maximum number of beds available is shown in each apartment description and no extra beds are available. Children's discounts will apply to the ratio of one child to two adults - but to qualify for the percentage reduction, the appropriate adult occupancy supplement will be charged to all occupants, including children. For example, whan an apartment taking 2-4 adults is occupied by two adults and once child, all three will pay the appropriate 2 person occupancy supplement, and the child's discount will be based on the 2 person price including the supplement. Dependant upon the number of adults and children in a party, it is not always advantageous to claim the reduction for all the children.'
