Our plan is to travel to cambodia, Bangkok, ko samui, Vietnam. We have been advised that last minute internal flights may be the cheapest option.

I can't help with your quote but I can say that every flight into and out of Koh Samui from Dec 15th - Jan 10th was full by the end of November. Whoever has advised you that for the December period obviously doesn't want you to leave Hong Kong.

Hi all,
Hope someone can help me beat this quote. Outr last quote fell through. My wife and I want to go to Australia and do the East coast run from Sydney to Cairns for a month. The dates are flexible up to give or take 7 days and we would consider flying from any UK airport although our preference would be to depart Manchester arrive Sydney and depart Cairns/Brisbane and arrive Manchester as quick as poss - i.e the fewer stops the better.

This is the best I've found so far:
Depart Manchester : 11 March 2009 for Sydney

Depart Brisbane 8 April 2009 for Manchester

Price: £973 per person

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

Tony

yes, I dont think many people have had their quotes reduced. Unfortunately, this is one that Martin cannot weave his magic on. Was plannning on going away in a week or so (as advised by Martin - the later the better) but the prices are now too high and not as cheap as Martin suggested...:(

Plenty have had their quotes reduced and many from the quotes i have given just some members never get back to you at all not even to say thanks and nobody seems to update their posts when booked etc as set out in the rules.
Seems some members want help but have no manners at all when it comes to thanking others who have given up their time to help them.

are all quotes reduced? if not, why not? I am finding it particularly hard to find a cheap holiday at the moment, having waited for the last minute
