    Thanks Sloppychops. Been quoted £350 from Co-op so looks like it is quite a good deal in the end!

    If anyone can help...

    Looking for 1 week in the sun, departing on anytime after the 5th of August, don't really mind where as long as it's not anything along the lines of club 18-30! Budget of around £300 per person (looking for the highest star rating for this budget)..Greece or Majorca??

    I'll try and do it in TravelMan's stylee-

    1. LGW/LHR
    2. Duration - 7-10 nights
    3. Sept dates please, leave anytime from Sept 1st
    4. Night flights - fine.
    5. 2 adults
    6. Board - don't mind although inclusive would be great.
    7. Lively but nothing too 18-30. We'd like a bit of culture as well as sunshine. Been to Turkey, Greece before and loved them both.
    8. Countries not suitable - nope.
    9. Other factors - nope.
    10. Near to beach, restaurants, nothing too isolated.
    11. Budget - £350 each (more for inclusive.)

    Thanks travel experts!

    Hi all!

    Please see the footnote at the start of this thread to cover this busy Summer period. In a nutshell-if you don't put all the info needed up here you won't get a reply (sounds harsh but it's too busy to keep asking people for things missed off) & if you're not prepared to book (assuming you like what's been found!) THE SAME DAY-preferably within the hour then DON'T POST ASKING FOR HELP.

    Both myself & the other travel bods, (Barron, etc) are mad busy but will always try to help, however we've had a lot of MSE'Rs who ar, to be honest, faffing around & calling back the next day-holidays gone/gone up or flights have increased in price! During the busy 'lates' period (24/7-28/8 departures) YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO BOOK STRAIGHT AWAY (or in 1/2 hour-that's all it takes to google the reviews!). I'ts a waste of time just 'looking for prices'-we don't have time for this & you can get a feel for this on the web.


    I know that Savapenny/Sloppy get frustrated too by people not thanking them, giving enough info or wanting to book & it's gone.Help all who help on here to help you!
