Help please - including travel agents

Hi,

I'm hoping this board can help me, myself and four friends all want to go on holiday next Saturday 6th June for 7 nights. I think Majorca is top of the list for destinations, and a friend is also keen on staying somewhere near Barcelona too so thats a second option. However we're open to other options. We'd like an all inclusive deal and have a budget of upto £350 each and we'd like to fly from Bristol or Exeter but may consider other airports for a cheap price.

I've noticed the beat my quote thread but I notice thats only to beat quotes, and I'd like travel agents to send me any current deals they think may suit us as we're pretty flexible... if thats possible please? And if anyone can reccomend a good all inclusive hotel then please do!

We could fly on Sunday 7th if necessary. We're all in our 20's so we'd like to go somewhere where theres good entertainment in the evenings, but we don't want to go anywhere thats renowned for clubbing like San Antonio or Rhodes etc. We'd like one twin room and one triple.

Pleeeeeeeeeease help!

Thank you,

Dan

    Also can't find those prices on the travel republic site. Thanks for the response though.

    I always book thru these as they tend to search everyone.

    There used to be some pages which quoted "the price you see is the price you pay" and they held that promise.

    Good luck

    I would love to see a page that said that on Teletext as in my experience the price you see isnt the price youpay and they usually whack on about £60 ish pp if not more.

    the whole beat my quote thread is for exactly that.. you've done a bit of research, and want someone to beat it... fair i think, as you've done some work, and know what you want etc..

    just to tell us to find you a holiday is a bit much IMO, and that's why it is called beat my quote, and not, find me a holiday for this budget because i can't be bothered..

    just my opinion..

    btw.. it took me 5 minutes to search teletext holidays, and find 1 room for 1 person at £333, AI, from Bristol Airport..

    it ain't hard to do

    Sounds like a good name for a sub-board.

    and there is always the possibility for

    I still want it dirt cheap even though demand is high and everyone else wants to go on holiday at the same time.
