    Hi everybody, not so much a holiday as such, more a long weekend...

    Desired destination(s) Amsterdam
    Which airport/ports? Aberdeen (no alternative)
    Holiday Travel Dates 26th or 27th March-29th March 2009
    Duration of holiday 2/3 days
    Number of people travelling 2 adults
    Type of holiday? Weekend (drinking)
    Board basis? Anything considered.
    What your price range is Preferably no more than £300 each.
    Whether you require an in-flight meal Not necessary
    Are night-flights or stopovers acceptable? yes (anywhere considered)
    Any specific requirements Just must be in Amsterdam for the morning of 28th March.

    I realise we may be cheaper booking a hotel seperately (and at a later date) than those in travelmoneysupermarket. At the moment flights look to be the guts of £200 which seems okay to me (through site Opodo), although they are rubbish times.

    Appreciate any assistance.

    Right, so you can travel anytime between now and?

    You want to stay for how long?

    And your quote to be beaten is? :confused:

    Wanting to Fly to Denver Colorado from Manchester or Liverpool uk
    Board not needed
    2 adults
    Out bound travel wanted Morning
    Return travel Later Evening
    Dates are open though do need 4 weeks notice

    Sorry it's taken so long to reply, but...
    can travel anytime between now and? Cheapest travel times.
    You want to stay for how long? 3 to 4 weeks
    And your quote to be beaten is? 451 but can't find it again with limited internet access. 595 - 664 Aug time Atlanta, (14 hour lay-over).
    Don't really want to go through JFK, Newark or Chicargo, don't want a long lay-over but definately don't want one that there is no time between arrival, Passport check etc and Customs to get to the onward terminal, (disabled person).

    Hope this is enough info for you to better any quote

  • I got a quote for business class flights as follows (accomodation not included)


    The Quote itself: £3200pp

    Who the quote is from: FlightCentre
    Is there a booking fee: no
    The departure Airport: Heathrow
    The Dates: 26/7 for 6 nights (leaving Heathrow on 21/6 PM flying to San Fransisco, returning on 1/8 PM from Vancouver - night flight will get us home for 2/8 AM)
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 3 adults
    The Hotel: Not included
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): N/A
    Any specific requirements: BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHT - multicity
    Is an in-flight meal included: YES - BUSINESS CLASS

    Other Info - These flights were with British Airways, I have no preference as long as it is business class also if there were flights around the same price from Dublin it would be more convenient but I cant seem to find any direct flights Dublin - San Fransisco or Vancouver - Dublin so London looks like the only option which is fine.

    Many thanks in advance and kind regards
