Dear all. I am planning on taking my family ( 2 adults, one child at 15, one at 14 and one at 9 on holiday for Christmas. I am happy to fly from Manchester, or any where close to Sheffield. The holiday I have found is first choice. The holiday is to the Fun Royal /tropicale on playa dorada puerto plata. The dates are 15th to the 29th ( we want Christmas day in this hotel but not new years eve).

I am happy to travel on different dates, that allow us to be there for Christmas, and home for the new year.

I have chosen first choice because of the comfort of their flights, but would consider other companies whom will offer the same levels of comfort.

The price is from the first choice web site and is £5121 for two weeks. I know that Thomas cook do a holiday on the 13th from Manchester that is cheaper, but the seats are not as comfortable, and this does make a difference. I am going to book this holiday by the 26th of June, but I have notg decided who to book with..Please email me with prices and offers. [EMAIL="tpresto3@hotmail.com"]tpresto3@hotmail.com[/EMAIL]

Kind regards

Tony

If people actually want Travel Agents to respond to them, then give them something to work with. Sure, a non-TA might come back to you, but asking someone who is working to try and undercut a £105 Ryanair Flight??????????

Please, I know this thread is mostly ignored and mostly rubbish, but please, can people just not bother posting flight only? Often it's just sheer laziness as with a bit of research, and ringing a couple of agents you can find it yourself. And you most likely won't get an answer from here which is supposed to encourage professionals to respond.

That's not a pop at Natalie btw as this thread is full of such quotes, but I find them infuriating.

Can anyone beat these quotes?

I’m looking to book a 7 day, all inclusive honeymoon for 2 adults (naturally!) at the Hilton Sharks Bay Resort, Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, from 23rd to 30th October 2008.

QUOTE DETAILS

Deluxe Room: Thomas Cook: £845.73 pp

My preference is for the Deluxe Room but I would consider the King Plus, Sea View Room if there would be a significant price difference. Please don't quote for a standard room.

Booking Type - Some bookings are “fully flexible” which, I’m told, means that it is possible to cancel the holiday and receive some of the cost back as a refund. The Thomas Cook quote above is an Advance Purchase booking which means that if the holiday is cancelled no refund will be given. I want a “fully flexible” booking.

Flight Details
London Gatwick to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt
Airline: Monarch
Out: 23 Oct 08 Flight No. MON5764
Return: 30 Oct 08 Flight No. MON5765

Flight Extras - The quote includes in-flight meals and extra baggage allowance. I don’t want in-flight meals but I do want the additional baggage allowance. I also want to guarantee being seated together.

Transfers - are included and required

Alternative Flights - There are alternative flights on these dates with Excel or easyJet. I’m willing to take the Excel flight if the saving is significant but please don’t quote with the easyJet flights.

Insurance - I have my own insurance

ABTA & ATOL - Please only quote if you are covered by both. Thanks
