    Hi,
    We are looking to book flights to Vancouver. The have got a quote for the above dates but are quite flexible (anything after 15th June up until eearly september). Looking to go away for 3 weeks. Travelling with a child therefore would prefer a direct flight.

    Looking to book in the next few days - can anyone help me find a cheaper flight or beat my quote?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to get the cost down of my upcoming trip as we've gained a couple of extra days, so spending and food etc has gone up a bit for the holiday.

    25/11/08 to 12/12/08. Staying in a private villa so accommodation is not required. Four people, all adults.

    From any london airport to orlando (international or sanford), must be direct flight.

    I've been quoted £433 per person for the flights by Expedia and Virgin direct from LGW to MCO. I don't mind who i fly with as long as meals and drinks are included and the cabins have seat back tvs in economy.

    Car Hire - the cheapest i've been quoted is £463 by uscarhire.co.uk. I'm specifically after a Premium SUV 7-seater, as this gives us a huge useable boot space with the third row of seats flat. We take lots of luggage :)All taxes, charges and insurance is included, initial tank of fuel is not, but we always return the car with a full tank so unless this can be supplied for £20 payable in this country, not worth worrying about.

    A room big enough to take four adults for one night at gatwick in the hilton or sofitel would be a bonus if it's under list price, but not a requirement as it's only a consideration at the moment. Two adults share a bed (myself and wife) and the other two are friends only, so two single beds required for them.

    Any help would be gratefully received!!!
    Thanks!
