    Hi there, hoping you can help with flights to and from America.

    Myself and a friend are going to visit relatives in Miami and Philadelphia. We're from Edinburgh and would prefer a straight through flight if possible from either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

    We would be either flying TO Miami and returning from Philadelphia or flying to Philadelphia, returning FROM Miama.....whichever works out the cheapest.

    The dates and times we hope to travel are from Friday 27th July - Wednesday 8th August 07. The dates are flexible within 2 days either way.

    Thanks very much.

    If there are any other places you would like to go to let me know and i will try to price them up for you.

    Many thanks for that, but there doesn't appear to be a pool at the Ancora and the transfers are taking it over budget as well, may have to consider a different resort?
    cheers, paulo

    If you do a search for the hotel on https://www.hotelopia.co.uk its mentions they have a pool and it also show pics.
    Decide on a another resort if Lagos is no good and i will have a look around for you or is there anywhere apart from Portugal you would like to go to.

    Hiiii all! :)

    Ive kinda been put in charge of sorting out my aunty and uncle's holiday as they havent really been on many holidays abroad and therefore think that the price they see in the brochure is final!! so im wondering if you can help me find a good late deal for them. The only catch is they are dead set on Tenerife!

    requirements are;

    2 adults
    duration - 1 week
    destination - Tenerife, lively resort (thats what they want!)
    departing on - 27th, 28th, 29th April
    departing from - Manchester, Leeds/Bradford, Doncaster/Sheffield, any flight time will do
    board - SC or B&B if possible
    hotel - minimum 3*rating (dont ask me why!) :rolleyes:
    close to the beach would be good, you know like doesnt have to be seafront but as long as its within 5 minutes walk like
    hoping for around £300 per person max, £350 pushing it-is that possible with all them requirements?? :p

    thankyou in advance, am looking to book quite nowish as i think weve left it late enough

    Fanabe Costa Sur Hotel is a good 5-7 euros taxi away from the action
    Pueblo Torviscas is about a 10-15 minute walk

    Fanabe Costa is a good hotel for quieter holidays but that area and the hotel you get plagued by the dreeded timeshare animals

    I choose a better flight time because the budget was so generous but if you add slopys flight on to the Thomsons apartments you get a new total of

    £314 for both you could even add 1 more night onto the apartment so they didnt have to leave until the flight was due

    PS anyone who want Tenerife for next weekend check out the "finding cheap Thomsons" thread Just posted a cracking 4*HB

    Hi

    Don't know if anyone can help. Finding a holiday for a family of three abroad is very expensive. Was much cheaper when my child was under 2 but nevermind!

    I am looking for preferably the following:-

    1/ Flights from Doncaster Robin Hood Airport, would consider Manchester or East Midlands if we had to
    2/ 7 nights
    3/ Between 13th April and 18th departing - night flight fine
    4/ 2 adults and one child aged 2
    5/ Half board or all Inclusive
    6/ Preferably in Gran Canaria, wanted to stay at Maspalomas Tabaiba Princess however this may be too expensive now. Would consider Cyprus too - main factor half board or all inclusive and good for kids!

    Hope someone may be able to help!
