    lol your not going to get it for £159 thats guaranteed.Icelolly are great at advertising fantastic deals,but you try to get it for that.
    First there is all the supplements and then they will add your transfers etc(as with all holidays)thats if its still there/or more to the matter if it was ever there.
    I have called them a few times in the past and the holidays have just gone lol and then they try to sell you a much more expensive one.

    I don't think that is the 'Deal of the century' This is;

    Montego Bay, Jamaica
    from Manchester
    on 27 Apr 2006
    for 13 nights
    self-catering apartment
    for only £129

    http://www.sunmaster.co.uk/

    I haven't bothered to dial their ludicrous 0871 number though, to check out the terms and conditions.

    Works out to around £200 each for two people travelling together or £240 alone.

    Basically, you just paying for a charter flight.
