    thats still not a bad price but obviously £267 is better. Airlines release a certain number of seats at one price and once they sell they release the next lot at a higher price and then when they sell the next lot ect ect.., so if you wait for them to come down they more than likely wont (of course there are some exceptions like special offers and sale days)

  • I have had quotes for a honeymoon. But recently, these prices have gone up, so am looking for what agents can offer me. I have a set schedule and I am happy to email if you can give me an adequate quote.
    • Desired destination(s) Start in Bora Bora (5nights), then to Sydney (4nights), Great Barrier Reef (4-5nights), Singapore (3 nights)
    • Which airport/ports? London
    • Holiday Travel Dates. Depart - 12th November 2008
    • Duration of holiday Return - approx 1st December 2008
    • Number of people travelling 2
    • Type of holiday? Honeymoon
    • Board basis? All Inclusive in Great Barrier Reef, all other B&B will be sufficient, but prefer Half-Board in Bora Bora (if possible).
    • What your price range is. £4k (pp)
    • Whether you require an in-flight meal. Yes
    • Are night-flights or stopovers acceptable? Yes
    • Any specific requirements – This is a honeymoon request. I am aware that the price required is high, so please no timewasters. I know where I would like to stay in Bora Bora (Thalasso Spa) and Great Barrier Reef (Qualia). Sydney, looking at Travelodge (it is sufficient). And Singapore - Shangri-La or something similar. One traveller is vegetarian.
    Thanks for your help! I look forward to what I can be offered.
