    Thank you in advance :beer:
  • Ive managed to find flights to Turkey for the 2nd of August for a week flying from stanstead to dalaman for 3 adults and one child of 6 with A1 travel.

    Was wondering if that was a good deal (never heard of the travel agents) or if it can be beaten.:confused:

    Thanks

    I would love some quotes either for just the flights or flights and accommodation.

    Desired destination(s): The Amalfi Coast, Italy (flying into Naples)
    Which airport/ports? I'm in the West Country but happy to travel to London to an airport
    Holiday Travel Dates: September or October 2007 (not half term!)
    Duration of holiday: One week
    Number of people travelling: 2 adults
    Type of holiday? We're looking to stay somewhere quiet ie. not a place full of drinkers/clubbers and hopefully not too many children!!
    Board basis?: Self-catering, B&B or Half Board
    What your price range is: Around £500-£600
    Whether you require an in-flight meal: Don't mind
    Are night-flights or stopovers acceptable?: Would rather a direct daytime flight
    Any specific requirements: Quiet and scenic.

    I have had a quote of £160 for flights although these were leaving on odd days (I was hoping for Saturday to Saturday, Sunday to Sunday, or Friday to Friday) and £280 for B&B accommodation or £150 for a villa (but this was not in a town I particularly wanted to stay in (And £115 for car hire).

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I've found a 5 bed villa with private pool nr Champions Gate, Orlando for two weeks (3/9 - 17/9/07) for £695. I've already booked flights but no extras yet so can anyone quote better than ths as I am waiting to book.

    Its a special birthday (too old to mention!) with family (4 adults) and don't mind paying more for a really special villa.

    Thanks for anything received x

    BTW is it me or does it seem strange that nearly all posters asking for quotes are first time posters

    Its probably because the link to this thread was provided in Martins weekly email. His links to threads always attract new members who sign up to post.

    Does that make sense? or am I waffling :o

    Anyway, I'm a regular browser on the travel board but not a regular poster. Seeing the 3 of you agreeing with each other has scared me:p :D
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
