Hello Mr Travelman ;D

Here are the details: No rush, just checking best times to book, weather and price wise.

1- Gatwick/Stanstead - (if France, via road if needed, if you have approx rental prices for vehicles that would be great too)
2-Approx 7 nights
3-nice mild weather please - so anytime early sept, mid october are good dates - or even november if weather is ok
4-Yes - night flights are ok.
5-approx 4-6 adults max & 2 kids (7 years and 1 year old)
6-self catering
7-villa prefered (must be clean, deco not important the views and outside areas are more significant), with pool, quiet near local food stores, quite bars etc
8-NOT spain or tunisia - would prefer south of france or italy
9-beach would be nice - once again a quiet one!
10-ummm - approx £200 p/p max £350 p/p (adults) Kids, not sure how much, but they will have to go with us! I guess it would be cheaper to go to france by road right? we would like to stop over in Paris for a day or so if possible. Ok strike out italy, we'll just stick with France!!

Thanks in advance, like I said, no rush.

Oh, I feel like I am being soooo picky ::) ::)

Hello-sorry for the delay!

my advice is go for GREECE/TURKEY from 15/9 onwards. Contact me end Aug-we get last minute VILLA deals in-my guess is you'd pay £450 per VILLA (2 or 3 bedroomed) max if you booked last min-flights approx £109-£149 pp.

I'd look at Crete especially.

Hang fire & contact me end August-if you book NOW you've not a chance at those prices!

kind regards,

Chris

Does anybody know why is it British Airways fares seem to be more expensive than buying from a travel agent? I have been quoted a return fare to Mauritius £650 from a travel agent whereas BA has quoted me £660.10 from their website.

I would be grateful if anyboody cold find the cheapest fares to Mauritius either by Air Mauritius or British Airways.

From 5th November - 2nd December BA

From 8th Dec - 1st Jan 05 BA

It does not have to be the exact date, a difference of one or two days will not matter. I have searched the internet for hours and the best I could come out with is:-

£685.10 From 8th Dec - 1st Jan from BA online.
£660.10 from 5th November - 2nd December BA online. £650 from a travel agent.

Also I am a bit reluctant to book for the month of November now as last year after I book my ticket early, BA's price came down by £100. As for the 8th Dec, it's my husband who want to travel, I guess I will have to book pretty early as it is peak season.

Please, if anybody can help, I would be grateful. Thanks a lot.
