    That deposit seems like the norm.Cant find any cheaper.The other option you have is to book through a travel agent on a low deposit but then your holiday will be nowhere near what i have quoted.

    Hello, looking for a weekend break in Florence, hopefully in late March or April, two nights, any hotel (prefer 3*) and can fly from any London airport, prefer not stanstead. 2 adults, any board, budget up to £300. Will fly early morning, late eve if helps, would also consider eurostar if such a journey is possible. Prefer to be centrally located as we will not be hiring a car. Thank you in advance
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.
            Fiver Friday #13 £35

            LisaChristie .. I agree with saveapenny.

            Friends booked a few days ago to Thailand with mytravel, prices were very good.
            You could book hotel and flights separately, which I do when I visit Thailand, my fav place.
            You can get a flight with travelocity from lgw to bkk leaving 15th March back on 30th march for £399.78. Hotels are very cheap there. Plenty of choice.

            http://www.sawadee.com/ is a great site for info and bookings.

            Happy holidays where ever you go
