    Looking at the following flights:

    28/3/2015

    Manchester to Dubai

    2/4/2015

    Dubai to Amman

    11/4/2015

    Amman to Manchester

    Would prefer to fly direct on the first 2 legs, but prepared to have a change if much cheaper.

    Current cheapest we've found is £651 per person. There are 3 of us going - 2 adults and a 12 year old.

    Hotel not required for Amman however we do need one for Dubai - only looked at flights for time being though.

    Can anyone beat that?

    Thanks

    I need to go to Washington in September, roughly arrive on 19th and roughly come back on 30th, I can be flexible both ends on dates to three days either side, but need at least a week in the states.

    So far I have going out on 20th, return on 30th Icelandair £477, this is an OK figure but it requires a 17hr layover in Iceland. I could pay a little more for less layover but the next price I can find is £100 more.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.
            Fiver Friday #13 £35
