    Hi,

    I'm getting married on the 9th November in Cape Town and need to book flights for my guests as soon as possible.

    We all need to fly from London (Heathrow or Gatwick), flying from 6th Nov returning 13th Nov. Night flights are ok, there will be 20 guests including 1 infant.

    We would like direct flights if possible, but 1 stop would probably be ok. The budget is about £600 per person - so roughly £12k (not sure how much an infant is).

    We do not want to fly via the middle east - that is the only stipulation with regards to airlines.

    Thanks

    Chris

    So you want a quote for yourselves(2 adults and 2 kids) and also for another 2 adults(grandparents) but only for the last week?
    Is your budget of £2500 to cover holiday for all 6 of you?

    Yes, please, if possible for 6 of us on £2500 budget or would it be cheaper to book for 4 of us first and then just look for 2 adults holiday the week after ours..My parents cannot go with us for 2 weeks so 1 week for them would be fine. It can be the first week or the second week, it is my mum's birthday on the 21 of July so would be nice if we're together at her birthday..Thanks.
