    Hi lostsoul25

    I can't beat that price sorry
    Just as a guide to people posting here I can't beat anything involving Ryanair as I refuse to book them - and I will guarantee to beat andy Jet2hols, Thomas Cook, TUI/Thomson/First Choice (Currently for TUI May deps onwards only), Kuoni, Olympic, Balkan Hols and a few others

  • Hi I wonder if anyone can get me a better deal?


    The Quote itself: £3085.24 for 5 people requiring 3 rooms in New York
    Who the quote is from: Expedia
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Expedia (United Airlines)
    The departure Airport/Post: LHR
    The Holiday Dates: 18 - 22 November 2019
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 5 adults needing 3 rooms
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Eurostars Wall Street

    So we want a nice hotel in Manhatten but apart from that we are open to suggestions if it could save a bit of money.


    Many thanks for any help you can give.

    In-laws have asked me to enquire about a cruise they have seen in one of their Sunday supplements:

    Cruise and Maritime Voyages, Grand Baltic Cities & St Petersburg cruise, 15 days from £1199 on the Columbus departing Sep 19.

    Would be looking at Ocean View Standard twin @ £1669 per person
