I posted previously for Kenya, but due to the election problems my husband wont go - I would still be happy to go. Any way I was wondering if anyone can beat my quote or find me a new one which would meet our requirements more.
The quote is for 2 adults to Cuba. We are looking at Melia Las Dunas in santa clara, but may be willing to go to one of the other hotels if the price is right. The dates we would like to go are either the 4-18th August which is coming out at £865 per person or 18 Aug - 1st Sept for £775. Both are leaving from Manchester, but depending on how much cheaper it is we may be able to get to Gatwick.
If possible we would rather leave from Edinburgh or Glasgow but know that this is highly unlikely. My husband has put in a leave request for the 11-26 Aug but is in the process of trying to cancel this so if we can find the same hotel with these dates it would be good..
Many thanks

Don't think anyone can, but if you can beat this quote give me a shout. It has to be First Choice flights, as I do not want to fly long haul with Monarch.
