A word of warning for those people looking for transfers from Pula Airport. If you book airport transfers with Thomson dont expect to be dropped off anywhere near your hotel. We were dumped at 10.30 at night night at the mercy of the local taxi drivers and had to pay an additional 12 quid to get to our resort. Our flight had already been delayed two hours so we lost our on our evening meal. They do not make this clear when they sell the transfers and only told us when we got to Porec. They were not interested in how we got there because quote we had booked our accomodation seperately. However the rep managed to turn up early next morning at our hotel to try and sell us some trips. Named and shamed Thomson Holidays.

Can you tell me if you booked your transfers with your flights. I failed to do this when I booked with thompsonfly and when I try to email them or go into their shops they tell me they dont do transfers from pula to porec. Regards

Hi
Yes I booked transfers when I booked my flights on the Internet on Thomsonfly. The cost was twenty pounds per person each way, eighty pounds in total. They transfeed peopel to the Neptun and one other hotel from the airport, but we were left at the Porec bus station. On the way back they picked us up at the hotel with several other guests. They also sent us an email offerring extras such as Manchester Airport Parking, which we took them up on. Transfers were on this email as well. Not sure why you have been told this. Good luck.

Thanks, Can%26#39;t understand why either and its really annoying knowing for a fact that these transfers exist. Thank you for your reply, I%26#39;ll now look for other alternatives. Regards Marie

Hello Marie try www.medhotels.com they offer Transfers even if you%26#39;ve not booked a hotel with them. You can choose a Private Taxi or Bus. They only go to certain hotels but if yours is not on the list just find out which one is closest to yours and book that one then email the Transfer company and ask if they can take you to your hotel. I booked a transfer to the hotel next door to mine and after emailing them they have agreed to drop me off at my hotel they were really helpful. Cant guarentee they will do this every time but you might me lucky and your hotel may be on the list. Good Luck

Were you staying at a Thomson hotel?
As far as I am aware, Thomson has for years had this policy: if you are a flight only customer and book a transfer, they will take you to a central point in the resort (usually a bus station), or they will take you to a hotel, if it is one of the hotels that Thomson feature.

Hi Bananaboy.
Yes it was a Thomson Hotel and we were picked up from the hotel on the way back. I think the reasons we did not get transfered to the hotel was that every Thomson flight that day seemed to be running late. My gripe is that it was not made clear until the point we were dropped off at late at night. I am normally careful and reasearch through Tripadvisor what transfers are available and what the costs are. It was poor attitude and unhelpfulness of the rep and the fact they ignored my letter that annoyed me the most. Anyway leason learnt.
Appreciate your comments.
