    For holidays that are that far away it might be best to contact a travel agent such as ** Personal details removed - Edited by Abcon ** she works for the same company as travelman but I found often gets better deals and as the budget airline wouldnt have the prices out for that time of year it might be a better option if you need to book up and not wait.(mbooth and Lipsticklady)

    I know she as some really good ski deals for christmas and new year to Andora (lynseyf )

    flights ..you might be better off search http://www.mobissimo.com/ (Alibear27 )


    Sorry nver thought it would be wrong to put a travel agents number on here.
    Contact her by cheryl.cole@tarsc.net and ask her for her number or PM me and I will give it to you
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    I've been Money Tipped!
    She's had no joy at the travel agent or a few online companies and knew I may be able to help out as I'm a "cheapskate" (happy to be one!!!!)

    2 ad, 2 kids (age 5,11)

    Wants to go "somewhere hot, the hotter the better" for half term. (Canaries, tunisia, cyprus, anywhere will do, although not south side of tenerife :confused: ) No more than 4 hours flight.

    Can leave anytime on Fri 21 Oct up to Sunday 23rd Oct for 7 days. They have to be back by Sunday 30th. Latest flight to start at 7pm please.

    Any board basis, but up to £1500 for self catering, £2000 for AI. Maybe able to push these a little if needed.

    Priority is good ents for the kids (something to amuse them in the evenings), a kids club at the resort is a bonus, but not essential. Beach nearby preferably, but not essential. However a pool at the resort is!

    Can only fly from Gatwick.

    Please let me know what you wonderful people can dig up. Thanks.

  • Hello,

    On scheduled flights you'll definately get a better deal on-line-most Travel Agents can't compete.

    Short-Haul packages & Mexico/Dom Republic/Cuba/Egypt are what I specialise in.

    Best tip-find the 'general sales Agents' on a google search for the airlines that fly there-these are what they call 'consolidators' (used to be called 'bucket-shops' in the eighties-now completely legit). Each Airline generally has 2 Agents who help them sell seats-prices are very good as you are cutting out the middleman (!)

    Good Luck!
  • Thanks Traveman this is a great site for all us "Thick" people (well only me). Appreciate the hard work!!
    Where do you press to say thanks?
  • I want to take the kids to Jersey next May/June (Half Term)
    Can't fly before 28/29 May (exams!) and need to be back in England by 6 June latest.
    Prefer to fly from Midlands - either Birmingham or East Mids - but consider Liverpool or Manchester. Luton possibly but last resort.
    Night flights possibly but only if they extend, rather than shorten the break IYKWIM - happy to fly out early or come back late, not the other way round.
    It's just me and 2 kids who will be 3 and 9 and a half. And I get sick of being penalised by travel firms for being a single parent/less than 4-person family!
    I want flight/accom inclusive (too short on time to try co-ordinating my own deals) and prefer s/catering but happy to be flexible.
    Any ideas?
    TIA
    Alison
