    This is on behalf of my 23 year old brother... (he's dyslexic so I'm giving him a hand in organising a 'round the world' trip)

    He has been given a total quote of £1600 for his flights going:

    London- Hong Kong -Bangkok -Auckland - Vancouver - San Francisco - London... leaving in the second week of August 2014. He plans to return in November and will need the flexibility to change flight dates. The quote is from Travel Nation (travelnation.co.uk) who also offer a free date change service meaning they don't charge an admin fee to help him change his flight dates.

    This seems pretty good, can anyone beat that?!
    £1 or less - entry to Woburn Safari Park, pair of cargo shorts, men's desert boots, £5 book token, tree peony, 2 x tights, National trust entry (50p for 2) *1 night at Hoxton Hotel* :D + numerous freebies. Thanks MSE :T

    Hi,

    Sorry if this is the wrong type of holiday question to ask, I'm looking for an around the world ticket, if it is let me know and I can remove:

    The Quote itself: 1307
    Who the quote is from: STA travel
    Is there a booking fee: n/a
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Qantas ticket (I believe but not really fussed on who I fly with)
    The departure Airport/Post: Heathrow (Happy with any london airport)
    The Holiday Dates: 28th Dec (I'm happy to travel between 26th-31st dec inc)
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 1Ad
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Flights only

    uk-bangkok over – Singapore – perth over-melbourne – wellington over Auckland – fiji – la – uk valid for a year leaving uk.

    There is an extra charge of £99 to have 3 flight changes as apparently they need to make dummy bookings for the flights as they are too far in the future.

    Any help would be great

    thanks

    Hello, can anyone advise the best / cheapest price I could expect to pay for 2 adults to fly to Barbados? No accommodation required! Many thanks!
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".
