    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.

    Hello there

    My daughter plans to go and work/live in Ibiza for the summer season.

    She finishes work on 30.04.08 and plans to leave the UK around about 5th May if possible.

    Cheapest one way flight I can find is with First Choice, Manchester to Ibiza on 7th May 2008 for £107.50.

    Ideally I would like to book her a 1 week/2 week holiday for as cheap as possible so she can look around for a job (and not find one and come back home to mummy, but that is another subject:eek: ). She needs to be Central San Antonio close to the bars and restaurants.

    So, my mission is to find her either a very cheap flight and then I can look for accommodation after, or preferably, a 2 week package holiday for around £300 if possible (if any meals were included this would be even better - she weighs 7 stone wet through and I have visions of her coming home at the end of the season weighing even less:eek: ). The problem is, as she is going alone, the supplements take the cost of a package holiday RIGHT up!!

    Any ideas anyone??

    Thanks, Carol.

    Who the quote is from: expedia
    Is there a booking fee: no
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel:Vincci Condal Mar/BA
    departure Airport/Post: LHR
    The Holiday Dates: 17/5-25/5
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages):2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Vincci Condal Mar 4* (Barcelona)

    I'd happily settle for a cheaper but central 4* or 5* hotel. Equally can fly from either LHR or BRI.
