Due to an issue with the accommodation, we are now looking at an alternative. Hope MATTR5 can do his thing!


The Quote itself: £4,640
Who the quote is from: Jet2
Is there a booking fee: No
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Jet2/Jet2/Sol Katmandu Park & Resort
The departure Airport/Post: East Midlands (but would rather fly from London!)
The Holiday Dates: 4 August 2016 - 15 August 2016 (11 nights), but flexible
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 5 - 3 adults and 2 children (7 & 5)
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Sol Katmandu Park & Resort
The Board (self catering/half board etc): bed & breakfast
Any specific requirements: Include transfers, 2 adults and 2 kids in 1 room, 1 adult in second room

Have also found slightly cheaper (£4,400ish) using Ryanair from Stansted and travelrepublic for hotel, but transfers not included and no baggage, which is preferable. London airports are preferable.

Hi JediDad

How about

Gatwick day flights on 4th August for 11 nts
20kg hold bags each
Transfers included
Room for 4 and room for 1 on B&B at the Sol Katmandu
ABTA/ATOL protection
Low deposit of £300 total (£60 each to match Jet2hols)
So basically like for like but with the London flight you want
All for £4397

Hi sollc

Hi I can beat this on All Inclusive which is the most expensive board basis so I assume you must be doing some upgrades
Does their price include any upgrades? like extra luggage, prebooked seats, or room upgrades
if i do a standard room and a family room - inc normal bags and transfers then our total is £4788 beating yours by £391 - ive sent you a PM as I assume you must be doing upgraded rooms or something - it cant be that easy lol - anyway I'm confident I can beat them whatever rooms/upgrades youve got
