    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

    Any help with the above please?

    this quote has now inexplicably jumped up to £1620 overnight :(

    I've found the exact same package with Wye Travel for £1398, but not being familiar with them I'd rather book through someone more familiar. Is anyone able to match/beat this quote for me at all?

    Thanks in advance.
