    I would like to go to to the canaries for between 3-7 nights, departing at some point between 14th and 21st march. There are 4 people travelling. I do not want to spend more than £150 per person. (I don't really mind what star hotel/apartment or even whether it is self catering)

    I have been quoted for 3 nights half board in costa del silencio, tenerife.
    flying out from Manchester on 18/03 7am, flying back from Reina Sofia at 2am on 22/03. The quote is £138 per person.

    Can anybody help to beat this quote?!

I know that to travel on 3rd June with TC its a few hundred cheaper but thats with Monarch via Thomas Cook, and I want a specific Long Haul plane, like TC or First Choice, with seat back TVs etcThanks

    doesnt have to be fly drive or near disney! (perfer near beach!)

    The thing is with this one is they are saying on the web site the full amount must be paid now!
    and i cant do that, it would need to be saved for, so payment alot nearer the time (apart from deposit maybe!)
