    Hi,

    Similar request to "wannabe"s...

    We (couple 20&30, no kids) need to travel on Sunday 23rd July, back on the 30th (no flexibility).
    prefered airport: gatwick (anywhere south considered though)
    night flight would be OK, prefer daytime of course.

    Destination-wise... not sure... we want good weather, nice beach, some shops, nice bars/tavernas/restaurants... don't want kicking discos & 18-30s crowds.. or hoards of kids
    B&B or R/O would be fine if nice location like above is found!.. concern that RO/B&B accom may be very basic though.. I like nice places!


    Maybe a greek island, or turkey.. never been to either so need your qualified advice.

    Thanks!

    I am currently looking for a holiday starting 24th August _to _7th September 2006. Flying from Manchester to Lanzarote Costa Teguise.
    2 adults, one Child age 14 (possibly classed as an adult).
    I have been quoted

    Online Booking Discount: £62.83

    Hi, hoping someone can help me on this one. I'm looking for return flights to Las Vegas for 2 people for April next year. This is my criteria in order of priority:

    1. Direct flights if possible - will fly from Manchester (or Heathrow at a push)
    2. Good seat pitch (will consider paying extra for Premium Economy)
    3. Departing early - mid April 2007
    4. Duration - 17/20 nights
    5. For accommodation (first 5/6 nights only) in Vegas, must be at least 4* (will consider paying more for 5*)

    I know I'm being a bit picky but we're getting married out there so I need to get it right !

    Many thanks in advance.
