Who the quote is from: British Airways.
Is there a booking fee: Not sure.
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: British Airways/ Distrikt Hotel.
The departure Airport/Post: Aberdeen.
The Holiday Dates: 13/4/16 - 18/4/16 (five nights).
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults.
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Distrikt Hotel, New York.
The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room only.
Any specific requirements: ** See below.
Is an in-flight meal included: Yes.

** We would like an early flight (the one we have selected via BA arrives at 12:20) and a late flight heading home (the one we have picked leaves at 22:55).
We don't mind if it isn't BA and as long as we end up in Aberdeen, Scotland we don't mind how we get there.

** The dates above are the ones we put in for the quote but we will happily take any 5 days between 2nd April and the 18th April if it brings the price down.

Ideally we would rather pay a deposit now and pay the rest off later but understand if that is not possible.

We have tried expedia which started off a lot cheaper but then charged a heap for different flight times which pushed the price up quite badly.

Fingers crossed someone can beat this quote. We would love to get this closer to £1600 if possible (expedia ended up at £1785).

Any more information required, please just ask.
