Please please someone(s) see what they can do for me...
Waiting in anticipation here... :beer:

It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.

Ill be stunned if you get what your asking for for £700.0

the reason i say 700 is because although i know prices have dramatically risen from last year, i did manage to get practically the same last year for £720.
I priced one up about 6 weeks ago and it was showing up at £920 so i though if i waited a while i could grab it with a discount....
Unfortunately, that particular holiday is now unavailable...It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

The problem you'll find this time round is fuel charges and taxes on flights have risen sharply. Added to that you're looking at going at perhaps the most expensive time of year.0 -
just bringing it back to the top again...

It's the flights which are going to bump the cost up as you can get apartments for £98 for the fortnight on alpharooms!
I've found this on first choice though which is £1080 ~ not the area you wanted, but it's Turkey!
