  • I am trying to book a holiday for 2 families from different airports to the same hotel in Majorca. The details are as follows:
    Family 1 : 2 adults, 1 x 3 year old and 1 x 2 year old travelling LGW to Palma 8th - 19th September, 2008. All inclusive at the Thomson Continental Park Hotel, Alcudia, Mallorca for £1518.

    Family 2 : 2 x adults and 1 x 2 year old travelling GLA to Palma 7th to 18th September, 2008. All inclusive at the Thomson Continentel Park Hotel, Alcudia, Mallorca for £1266.

    Can anyone help?

    We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (5 and 3) and want to travel from Bahrain to Brisbane on 2nd July (with a 3 night stop at singapore) and then return from Sydney to Bahrain on the 27th July 2008.

    We have been quoted £2928.77 booking though Etihad web site.

    Ready to book. Can be a little flexible with dates, and would be happy for a stopover on the way back, although would need to leave Sydney a bit earlier.

    Thanks
