    Hi.
    Been quoted: £269pp by various travel agents and £263 by Thomas Cook.

    13th June Southampton ~ Guernsey ~ Southampton.
    P&O Cruises. Balcony.

    Want to book ASAP. Not bothered about a cheaper price if I can get OBC or Upgrade?

    Can anyone help me surprise my hubby?

    Many thanks,
    Julie.
  • Hi. I've seen rough quotes of about £1200 per adult but I'm not keen on the hotels in this quote. Can anyone give me a decent quote for the following
    Manchester to Las Vegas return flight x 2 adults (pref direct flights or as short flight times as poss)
    Staying somewhere really nice because it's a special birthday
    I've got a budget of about £2k to include hotel but flexible a bit
    Dates ideally 4 nights, depart UK Aug 14th, return Mon 18th Aug.
    These dates can be flexible moving later in the month if it makes the deals better.
    I would also go from a different airport if it made the flight time better/cheaper.

    Really hope someone can help me. Thanks loads"

    Who the quote is from: £261 per person for either adult, child or infant. total £1046
    Is there a booking fee: no
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: airtours
    The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    The Holiday Dates: 14th July July 2014 to 21st July 2014
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults, 1 child (8 years old) and one infant (1 year)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Parque de la Paz
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All inclusive
    Any specific requirements: no
    Is an in-flight meal included: no

    We are looking for a holiday for the people above leaving on 12th, 13th or 14th of July. We will not go to Turkey, Bulgaria, Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. We like the costas, canaries and balaries. We want half board, full board or ill inclusive. We are happy to do a DIY holiday including using a hire car to get from airport to hotel. We like it as close to the beach as possible. We do not want to go in the north of Tenerife. We prefer an apartment as its better to have a bit of extra space and your own fridge.

    We can fly out of Doncaster, Manchester, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool or at a push Birmingham. We live in Sheffield. We can not go for any long than 7 nights.

    We have been to http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g315919-d1145092-Reviews-Playa_Real_Resort-Adeje_Tenerife_Canary_Islands.html 3 times but fancy a change. Twice was when it was a first choice hotel and the last time was a DIY package. Hotel now is mostly for Germans.

    Thanks:beer:
