    I’ve been quoted £280 including tax by Thomas Cook for a flight to Crete from Norwich on the 12th September 08 -returning on 26th September 08.
    I need flights for 2 adults.
    (There is only one flight a week from Norwich on Friday evenings & we don’t need a meal.)

    Can anyone come up with a better offer please?

    Many thanks G.G
    Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!
