I used to think that Charlotte (although there's only 2 of us) but we paid £300 to go to the Isle Of Wight for 3 nights, yet we went to Egypt for 14 night for just £500 :eek:

Where do you get those fantastic deals from then Sloppychops - please do tell

All our cheapies have been very last minute deals.Cyprus was booked through Olympic and the rest were through My Travel.

obviously these are all diy deals except for th hong kong deal...

That Salou deal was a bargain for August, was that booking budget flights as soon as they were released?

We have booked a week in Mazarron (Murcia) airport this August for £413 for 4 of us, villa is free as it is a friends. BMI baby released a new route, Cardiff to Murcia so we booked the flights pretty quickly.

My best bargain was 2 weeks AI in Barbados for £376 each thanks to Mytavel auction site

Tunisia £89 3*hb at the Skanes El HANA (Glad we didnt pay any more than that)

We have had loads of £59-£99 holidyas to Greece and Spain inc the Canaries

I think a good deal is beating the Travel agents and tour ops
2 good value holidays we had were
The Coral Beach in Cyprus for 10 days on HB for £990 Thomsons wanted over £2500 for the same holiday

The Riu Palace Meloneras Gran Canaria on hb 7 days January for £580 same holiday with Thomsons and First Choice was over £1800

Another good bargain was not getting charged for a cruise we did with Airtours to this day its not come through on my CC so 1 week Greek island crusie in August on AI for £50 for the 2 of us I paid to select the cabin which they charged us for (cheek!!)

Just like to say thank's again everyone and I thought I'd had some bargains :rolleyes: I do actually go from one travel agent to another and ask them to beat that price, then just as we're about to do the deal I start the begging process all over again.

I went to Cyprus with Olympic & it was the only holiday Ive had that I really wasn't happy with the accomadation. Must look at My Travel, coz you're getting some great deals:T .

Personally I think what I call cheap depends on the board arrangement (as well as time of year). We've just returned from a 2 week 5* AI holiday that was about £900 for 2 of us & I would call that cheap, as it was really good. We had a Crete holiday for 3 of us in a SC studio that was about £550 (I though that was cheap too.
