    1-All airports you can fly from

    (Descending order of preference) Nottingham East Midlands, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Manchester

    2-Duration

    7 days

    3-1st & last dates to leave the UK

    Depart 9th - 11th June

    4-Are night flights acceptable ? (Big point as night flights usually cheaper!)

    Yes

    5-Party size & kids ages

    12 Adults

    6-Board basis you require (ie self-catering, all-inclusive, h/b, bb...etc)

    Self-catering

    7-Type of resort, ie quiet, lively

    Lively

    8-Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to

    No

    9-Any other neccesary factors, ie must have kids

    10-Prices required by what day/time?

    Tues 06/3 4pm

    club, pool, be within 'x' metres from sea...etc

    Pool if possible.

    11-Max. budget FOR THE WHOLE PARTY!!! Now I know there is a preconceived idea that if you say maximum £1000 we'll quote £999-99-NOT the case! It just saves us all time, for example if you were looking at peak Season or Whitsun for £125 pp it's a non-starter. Just 'as cheap as posssible' is not a help I'm afraid.

    Max £250pp x 12 = £3000

    Looking for a lively resort, preferably Malia in Crete - although would also consider Kavos, Gran Canaria, Tenerife etc.

    Thanks in advance for this!

    Hi there,

    I'd like to get some ideas about where to go on holiday this summer with some quotes if poss, I've got a good idea what we want from the hol:

    1- prefer to fly from Manchester
    2- 14 nights
    3- Departing from UK between Fri 29th July - 1st Aug 05
    4- night flights are ok
    5- 4 adults (two couples in two seperate rooms)
    6- All Inclusive, Self catering or half board basis
    7- lively resort - not right in the middle of all the bars but within 15mins walking distance
    8- WOULD NOT go to Balearics, Rhodes or Tenerife. would love to go to mexico or carribean, or greece but must be in a nice hotel - nothing really basic..any ideas about resorts would be great.
    9- Must have pool. Within about 15 mins walk from beach ideally
    10- Max. budget for all four of us is £3200

    I've heard it might be best waiting for a month or two for the prices to come down, is that right?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Amy

    Guys & girls.......My system is being upgraded (so old computer being sent back today) hence I'll be off-line for a while-I'm writing this from our Head-Office! During this time I'll be driving all over the place-to utilise my 'down-time' by seeing suppliers, etc...might be in Spain for a day or so.

    I have also had flu-now fully recovered. Our IT people have said the new system should be with me & set-up by 16/3.

    If I am at Head Office I'll have web access so may be able to duck in briefly so any posts for me are not likely to be answered until 16/3. If you have an urgent enquiry please call me & leave a message (tel. no on my web-site)-I'll pick these up remotely & call you back-can still get prices, etc with a collegues help!

    Hi Travelman, and all you travel experts. I need your help, all the details are below. Please let me know if you ned any more info. I really appreciate your help.


    Airports
    In preference –
    1) Heathrow,
    2) Gatwick, Birmingham / coventry /standsted
    3) Any others within 2/3 hours drive from berkshire

    Duration
    3 to 7 days / nights

    1st & last dates to leave the UK
    1st – 31st May. Leaving on a Sat even / Sun morn is perfect, but not a requirment.

    Are night flights acceptable?
    Yes

    Party size & kids ages
    Couple: 26 and 26

    Board basis you require (ie self-catering, all-inclusive, h/b, bb...etc)
    Self-catering or bb
    But if others are at good prices, I will consider

    Type of resort, ie quiet, lively
    Wife and I been to Stalis in Crete – that was excellent, as we chilled on the beach & did sight seeing during the day, went for walks in the evenings, and at night we wither went to restaurants or bars, or for a crazy night out to Malia.

    In summary: Somewhere to chill out and relax, and have stuff to do, but have the option to go out as well if we want to.


    Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to
    Do not want to go somewhere cold and rainy. Want to go somewhere hot, so between 25C – 35C would be perfect

    Any other neccesary factors, ie must have kids, club, pool, be within 'x' metres from sea...etc
    Temperature 25C – 35C
    Easy access to either a clean beach (within 10min walk) or a clean pool


    10-Prices required by what day/time?
    As soon as possible


    11-Max. budget FOR THE WHOLE PARTY!!!

    Ideally £200 for hotel and flights, but it the offer is good can pay upto 300.

    I am being miserly because in October, I went to Stalis, Crete for 2 weeks –
    Flights, Self catering apartment 3* (12 apts in total – so nice and quiet) with pool & bar, 1 minute from beach, clean, excellent location. Cost – For 2 of us £450. Went with Cosmos and stayed at Triandafillo apts.
    The swimming pool wasn’t working so they refunded us £100, so total cost £350. not bad !!!
