    It must be a package as they are asking for The Holiday Village in the Algarve which is a First Choice Village and im sure cant be booked anywhere apart from First Choice.

    Hi all,
    I booked a lovely holiday last summer through this site tro Halkidiki and want to go to Lake Garda NEXT summer '09 and was wondering if it would be cheaper to book now or wait until nearer the time ?
    I am thinking of going the last 2 weeks of July '09 so if you find a bargain please let me know

    THANKS

    Without wishing to sound rude, this is supposed to be a thread soley for holiday quotes to be beaten. Having said that, even if someone did want to try and help you out it would be impossible without details such as departure airport/party size/board required/budget.

    Why don't you come back and post full details on here when you have got a quote for a holiday that meets your requirements?

    We are looking to book asap, ideally wanted flights from any midlands, but can't find any (although that doesn't mean much!!) Dates are around October half term - daughters exam year so flexible only by a couple of days after the departure date i've stated. First trip to Egypt and only second time abroad, so any advice would be received gratefully ... Many thanks in anticipation.. Jo

    This is just an example of one of many prices found, looking to go to Orlando on the 30th, price means a lot so flexible with airlines and hotels. Looking to book by 25th August. There don't seem to be as many good last minute deals around this year?
