    Having finally figured out OH prob. wants to go to Madrid.
    My other booking was cancelled,so its last minute.
    Are the prices for bank holidays breaks going to be high all week,or will it have to be a Sunday to wed break to keep the cost down?
    1. DATES between friday 4th May and wed 9th May
    2.DURATION .3-4 nights (ideally afford 3)
    3.PARTY SIZE- 2
    4.BEST QUOTE-Few days ago found flights only sun-wed at about £75
    5.DESTINATION--Madrid.Good central location.Would consider other destinations from east mids but not paris amsterdam rome venice prague or berlin.
    6.BOARD basis -Room only or b & b
    7. UK AIRPORTS-East Midlands only-
    8.BUDGET-up to £400-does that sound reasonable-less if possible(My original booking was 3 nights b&b plus flights £200!)
    9.ANYWHERE YOU WOULDNT GO-stag night type destinations
    10.Night flight-at a push only if nothing better available.
    11.IN FLIGHT MEAL-no
    12.SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS-Maybe air con if recommended.Prefer quiet time rather than bars and club type thing.
    13.ATOL-cheapest deal

    Thanks- gettin worried that the b/h is approaching and i have nothing booked.Is there high demand-is there any point in booking later in the week.

    HI CHAPS ANY HELP WITH THIS WOULD BE GRAND ...

    I'm off to see my new nephew and my not new neice in Chiang Mai after spending a couple of weeks on a beach somewhere hopefully - so if any good saving can be made by also booking internal flights to chiang mai then i'd be happy to that.

    It's a bit tricky as I want to go on my own and come back with my girlfriend.

    1-1ST/LAST DATES TO GO: The first date i can go is late night on the 20th of July (i'm working till late 7 in central london) the closer to that the better but if it makes a significant difference to the price i could go up to three days later. Similarly my girlfriend needs to fly out between the 3rd and 6th August.

    2-DURATION
    We'd both like to come back between the 23rd - 27th August (on the same flight)

    3-PARTY SIZE
    2 of us

    4-BEST QUOTE SO FAR (IF APPLICABLE) I saw flights for 500 a few weeks ago but can't remember where (sorry I can't be more helpful)

    5-DESTINATION WANTED
    Thailand - Not fussed

    6-BOARD BASIS-IE ALL-INCLUSIVE, SELF-CATERING, HALF-BOARD
    Flights only

    7-UK AIRPORTS TO GO FROM (BE AS FLEXIBLE AS POSS!)
    London preferably though if it was significantly cheaper we can travel (except fot the night of the 20th July)

    8 -MAXIMUM BUDGET The cheaper the better last year we paid £380 each but post budget i guess nits gonna be a lot more.

    9-ANYWHERE YOU WOULD NOT GO TO? NA

    10-ARE NIGHT FLIGHTS ACCEPTABLE?
    Yes

    11-DO YOU REQUIRE AN IN-FLIGHT MEAL?
    Ideally

    12-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS-IE KIDS CLUB, MUST BE QUIET, NEAR BEACH, SEPARATE BEDROOM, ETC..
    NA

    13-DO YOU REQUIRE JUST THE CHEAPEST DEAL OR WOULD YOU LIKE A FULLY ATOL PROTECTED QUOTE TOO?
    Both please.

    Any quotes would be gratefully appreciated ...
    If you need any more info to let me help you please do ask
    Cheers

    1- DATES
    Any Date between June and Mid Sept!

    2- DURATION
    4 nights (can be any combo of dates, as long as 2 days fall onto a weekend... my husband has only got 3 days annual leave remaining, so i was looking at permitations, eg: fly out weds/thurs/fri/sat/sun return, or out fri/sat/sun/mon/tues return...that kinda thing!)

    3- PARTY SIZE

    2 adults

    4- BEST QUOTE SO FAR
    There seems to be loads of flight only deals around for £4.99/£16.99 with budget airlines, but typically they are not on any date combinations i need!

    5-DESTINATION/RESORT WANTED
    Somewhere hot! Preferably Ibiza (san antonio) or if not, Lanzarote or anywhere nice in spain near restaurants and bars!

    6- BOARD BASIS
    Not bothered! SC preferably for cheapness!

    7- UK AIRPORTS TO GO FROM
    Manchester (i live in Manchester!) or Liverpool ... or Leeds Bradford/East Midlands as a back up

    8- MAXIMUM BUDGET
    £200 each... is this unrealistic??!!

    9- ANYWHERE YOU WOULD NOT GO TO?
    Greece or Turkey

    10- ARE NIGHT FLIGHTS ACCEPTABLE?
    Yep!

    11- DO YOU REQUIRE AN IN-FLIGHT MEAL?
    Nope!

    12- SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
    Not really keen on 'above bars' kind of accomodation like you often get in Ibiza... would like 2*+ really, and a pool aswell!

    13- DO YOU REQUIRE JUST THE CHEAPEST DEAL OR WOULD YOU LIKE A FULLY ATOL PROTECTED QUOTE TOO?
    Cheapest please

    Muchos Gracias! xx
