    Thanks Sloppychops

    I had looked at this holiday already myself. On the beach website is very good but I really wanted to fly on the Saturday. It means that I would have to take less holidays from work.

    We went with flights and accommodation from TravelRepublic.co.uk.

    Flights:
    ITINERARY:
    Outgoing:
    Depart:15 Sep 2007 22:55 / 05:30 (next day) Economy
    Arrive:16 Sep 2007 05:30
    (XLA886V) Glasgow - Rhodes

    Incoming:
    Depart:30 Sep 2007 06:30 / 08:55 Economy
    Arrive: 30 Sep 2007 08:55
    (XLA887V) Rhodes - Glasgow

    Total For Flights: £416.00

    Belair Hotel, ialyssos avenue,ixia, ixia, rhodes, 4 stars/Half Board .
    Check In Date: 15 Sep 2007
    Check Out Date: 30 Sep 2007
    Duration: 15 Nights
    Room Type: Double
    Board Type: Half Board
    Occupancy: 2 Adults

    Total For Accommodation: £667.58

    So Grand total for 2 adults for 15 days to Rhodes 15 Sep - 30th Sep in a 4 star half board hotel = £1083.58.

    Have not booked taxi transfer yet but have found them for £40.80 return @ https://www.a2btransfers.com.:j
    AND have also just found this website https://www.ezzetravel.com - return taxi for £29

    I know this is more expensive than your suggestions but it means I only have to take 9 days holiday instead of 11, and holidays are used sparingly at my work!
  • Hi,

    Honeymoon trip to Tahiti and islands we have been quoted the following:

    Depart MAN 03/05/07 (we would ideally like to depart on 29/04/07)
    Arr Tahiti 04/05/07

    Staying:
    3-5 May Sofitel Tahiti

    5-12 May Bora Bora Lagoon Resort - Beachfront Bungalow

    12-13 May Sofitel Tahiti

    Depart Tahiti 13/05/07
    Arr MAN 14/05/07

    Total: £3818.12 (£1909.06 pp)

    This seems like a reasonable deal but I'd like to know if this can be beaten as it is above our budget.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Can Anybody help with this please...??

    Thanks,

    DAn

    Thanks for your replies Sloppychops

    after much deliberation last night with OH & D - we have now decided to go back to Cyprus, maybe Protaras or Nissi beach area.

    Thanks again

    my husband has just found out he has a few more days left of annual leave that he didnt know about and so has booked friday 15th feb and tuesady 19th feb, my birthday falls on the 18th of feb and we thought we would like a few days away. just me, hubbie and 15 yr old son. we have a few travel lodge deals booked in the uk and so fancied somewhere further afield. i have seen some great flight prices to new york average £198 return but no luck with accomodation at under $100 a night. we have not set a budget as such as we want to book a fortnight away somewhere hot in july. so really the cheaper the better. would we be better looking at somewhere in europe?? for a good deal? not many places hot that time of year and obviously dont want to spend the four days travelling. the other thing to take into consideration is that i have limited mobility. although i can walk it is only short distances and the rest of the time am in wheelchair. have not tried the euro tunnel yet so that could be a possability? where would you suggest for a bargain long weekend in mid feb?


    slight alteration to the info above. will only be husband and mself. also you found me a great deal in crete last year. hotel was fantastic and compaed to other holidaymakers there we saved over one thousand pounds. we are also looking to book hol from 7 to 21 july this year for me hubby and son. what countries are the most popular and are offering the most value for money. this time we will be looking for something self catering as we felt AI was too constricting and didnt realyy take advantage of it in its full. is america florda in particular a good deal for these 2 weeks as the rate of dollar so good or is it still not worth the money and distance for 2 weeks. we really fancy a villa somewhere or are we aiming too high. last year cost £1800 for AI so hoping to spend less this year as SC and one less adult. what are your recommendations from what you have learnt from the searches you have done so far for all families for a sun hol in july. by going so early ie; beore kids break up were hoping this also may mean a nice reduction??? what are your thoughts???

    1-Any South west (Birmingham or Bristol best)
    2-2 weeks
    3-approx 18th Oct to 1st Nov (if flying Thurs to Thurs)
    4-Good daytime flight time preferably
    5-2 adults, 2 kids (4 and 2) and 1 infant (4 months)
    6-Self-catering preferably private villa
    7-Would like Costa Teguise in Lanzarote, or anywhere in Fuertoventura
    8-
    9-Private villa, at least 2 bedrooms, own heated pool, good for kids, near (less than 10 min walk) to beach suitable for kids.
    10-
    11-Absolute max £2000 but hoping for closer to £1500

    This is way in advance so I can't find any cheap flights for booking villa and flights separately - when should I look to book flights if we do it this way? Or are we better looking for a package deal?
    Any help would be very welcome
    Thank you
    Ali
