    Not sure whether this thread applies to hotel stays or just package holidays.

    I have been quoted £59 for a one night stay in the new Bloc Hotel Gatwick in Gatwicks South Terminal for 15-16 June 2014 (double room).

    Can anyone offer a better deal for this? Thanks

    Hi, I'm booking return flights for four to Hong Kong.

    The dates are a bit flexible. I'd prefer flying out on the 21st of June, though it can be a couple of days later if it's cheaper (but not earlier) and coming back on the 21st of July, but that's flexible either way if it makes a difference to price.

    I'd prefer to fly from Gatwick because it's easy to get to by megabus, but live in Cornwall, so I'm flexible on that too if it makes a big difference.

    I'm not fussed about which class we travel in. I am disabled and have a blue badge, though I have no special requirements. Would this make a difference to the price in any way?

    Travel supermarket quotes £503.05 per person, all taxes included, with Jet Airways India from Gatwick. Can anyone beat that?

    Cheers,
    Dan
