  • Hi guys,

    I am trying to scout around for flights for a weeks holiday to Corfu (from Manchester) next May for 2 adults and 2 children (ages next May will be 5 and 3). Our eldest is now at Infant school so we are restricted to the school hols so our available dates for going out are 23rd,24th or the 25th May.
    For 7 nights only.

    So far Im getting quotes around the £220pp, but then have to account for add ons such as luggage. Im new to having to be restricted to school hols, so am wondering a couple of things -
    1. If there any of the travel agents on here can give me a quote for the dates mentioned?
    2. Has anybody got any tips on when is the best time to book flights, and where to search?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
  • Hi,

    We are trying to find the cheapest way to travel to Turkey as a family. ,there are 3 adults and 3 children (7,6,3)

    we wondered whether it would be better off with one booking or 2 separate ones. If 2 separate ones then it would be 2 adults and 2 children in one room, and 1 adult, 1 child in another. (I think seperate bookings would be cheaper?)

    Can travel from either - EMA, MAN, BHX, DSA or LBA

    Looking for a last minute deal from Belfast to Turkey on 16 October all inclusive. 3 adults one child. For 11 nights.
    Open to hotels and resorts but must have generally good reviews.
