    Congratulations.

    Do ask the promoter. We went to Italy last weekend thanks to the Daily Mail. Trip for two adults, two kids, but DS is 14 and they counted kids as under 12. They were more than happy to swop things for us if we agreed to pay the difference from child flight to adult flight, which obviously we agreed we were more than happy to do.

    Promoter went off and came back to me that the difference in price was £122.00 and as I'd won £300 spending money they'd just take it off that for me. I was over moon as it would have meant not going on the holiday. Few weeks later cheque arrived with a note saying that they'd reconsidered and would be happy to pay for his flight as well and we could have all the spending money.

    Always worth asking, especially as child flights cost less than adult flights.

    Oh and my vote would go New York but it may be worth asking promoter for the holiday that allows you all to go as a family. Different hotels may have different room availabilities etc and be easier to arrange for the six of you as opposed to four.
