    Airline: Singapore airway non stop. Initial quote showing as £5500 for flights (dont mind a connection flight though. See comment below)

    Price includes return ferry from Singapore to Bintan + car to resort


    I am flexible on hotels and resorts.

    I am flexible on airlines. (got an independant flight cost of £2800 incl taxes etc flying Qatar with 1 stop over / connection).

    would like 2 days in Singapore before returning home within the 14 days. if possible.

    Got to be a cheaper price as 1 can knock £2500 off by getting flights myself but would like an al inclusive price for peace of mind.

    regards
