This is probably our preferred route as the choice of flights from Gatwick is far better and often cheaper than to Murcia or Almeria.  We are in and out of Alicante next July/August.

We always allow two hours and give or take a few minutes that is usually about right.

You had better clarify if you have the square or round furniture - we have the round (i.e. round or square dining table). There are two different styles throughout -  the glass cabinnets of each style are not the same.

This was a post i put on the Thalassa site several weeks ago - it may or may not help you with the true costing - we have a duplex.

Europa were cheaper for installation when i called around - but they seemed to be very evasive when asking how much cabling was needed - which we thought a little strange as they told us they fit our style blocks all the time.

Our installation quotation was 195.00euros inc. 15m cable,  we were then charged an extra 71.00euros for cable - the 15m is nowhere near enough.  The 2 apartments who joined our 4 were then charged and extra 30.00euros for internal trunking.

 This did not include the sky box we used an old one from home - they wanted to charge 299.00euros for that and even the engineer who installed it said that was very expensive you could get one cheaper in UK.  Our old uk sky box works ok and we get all the free to air channels no problem.

For four to share the cost was nearer 300.00euros than the 195.00euros quoted - we did not taken out a contract so now have no monthly payments.

Although a bit pricier than we thought, it works well and we enjoy it when we are there.

I work for British Airways based at Heathrow - and can advise you that Thalassa would not be a place that BA staff would particuarly stay at in their droves (one of the reasons we chose it!) because the nearest airport BA fly to is Alicante and that is a very popular tourist route and very difficult for them to get to on staff travel.  I don't even attempt it and i have 22 years seniority I now use easyjet into Murcia and do not bother with my cheap travel for that reason.

My advise to you as others have said is that it is all an advertising scam and if you are going to advertise aim for a much broader market.
