    Hi, Can anyone help,

    Travelling to disneyland paris

    Flight from manchester to charles de gaulle

    December 8th for 4 nights staying at Disney Cheyenne

    2 adults
    1 child who will have just turned 3 (on 29/11)

    I'm coming up with about £1036 with T.cook

    We do have the option of being flexible so could go before the child turns 3 if it makes a massive difference in price

    hi there i have booked to go to dlp in october staying at the cheyenne on a mon-fri break too cant wait.
    i booked mine through airmiles as it was free(been saving my clubcard vouchers up!)
    as i remember priceing it up to do myself and finding a lot cheaper i have just had a quick look for you.
    if you book through www.disneylandparis.co.uk for the dates you said the total cost of the hotel and park tickets would be £388.
    you then just need to book some cheap flights just had a look at www.airfrance.co.uk and got a price of £346.80 for all of you but im sure you could get cheaper than that.
    thats a couple of hundred pounds cheaper for just doing it yourself!!
    obviously you need to think about transfers if you have them thrown in with tc and how much they will cost you seperate.
    hope this is some help as to a cheaper way to do it.

  • Got quoted 1678 quid for flight for me and my 5 year old daughter to travel on these dates, it's with singapore airlines who are fab.

    Any advice to a get cheaper flights ? Also on the way back the only option is a stopover in Singapore in the airport hotel(which may aid jetlag?) then leaving at 0905 the next day. Is ther anyway i can beat this flight price ?

    Thanks in advance !
