    I have one thousand pounds to spend on this holiday, at the moment its just over that obviously I want it to be a cheap as possible which is why im posting on here. It previous was £410 pp but at the time I didnt have the money needed, do you guys think it would be worth waiting for the prices to lower or book asap.

    Thanks in advance
