    rogray..The price direct with Virgin is 9748.
    Now if you can wait till easter (good friday or easter sunday/monday) Virgin have a 15% off day instead of the 5% online now so the new price would be 8773 beating the Thomsons one. Thomsons have cut travel agents commision so its not worth phoning round for more discounts with them but Virgin havnt cut the commmision so they will be your best bet at getting good disounts.
    There is no Virgin flight on the 16th the above is for the 17th
    Cheapest day to go round your date is the 14th 9549 then if you take off the extra discount it would be 8594 which is much cheaper
    hope that helps

    Sorry I checked Gatwick out of habit
    when I checked Manchester there is a Virgin flight so I assume its that one onthe 16th you had had a price for it works out the same as the Gatwick one on the 14th 9549 then if you take off the extra discount it would be 8594
    My mistake
