    What's your return date? You've asked for flight only and then put that you want Half Board - which is right - flight only or flight plus hotel on half board?

    They posted another and return dates are 14th Jan 2009
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1012515

    and it must only be flight only as there is no way they would get flights and hotel on half board for the quote they got.
    I would be veru surprised if they can get a flight for the price quoted now either.
