    Hi Homeless, not got the password yet but will post it on here later if nobody else has. Just thought I would point out to you that if you look in T & C, you can't just go to Paris, you must go onwards within 24 hrs.

  • I'm interested in this but can't find any info. linking the list of destinations offered with the 4 prices.(i.e. where does £50 get you to, likewise for the other three prices). Can someone kindly post this information?
    The list of destinations was accessible on the Telegraph website yesterday (by clicking on an ad. for the deal at the top of the home page) but I can't find it today.

    There is tab at the bottom which you click to get an Adobe list of destinations which show prices from......£50 etc. Not sure if this is what you want but I can get it on mine. Typing this whilst holding for an operator - been on 15 minutes so far and having to listen to repeats of the same quiz over and over again. All at my expense of course!!
