Hubby is military so would be nice to have military discount, Thomas Cook give 6% and Thomson have kindly said they would match it. Child in bed so would require a bed rather than cot space.

Looking for the cheapest way to travel to San Miguel Hotel Ibiza (Thompson Hotel)on 3/8/2009,2 adults,2 children aged 10 and 16. Flying from Cardiff for 14 nights. In flight meals and prebookable seats wanted and ideally transfers but not so bothered about these. Original quote £2975 but free child place disappeared overnight and internet price now £3547. Have tried pricing hotels flights seperately and the best I can come up with is £3115.50.
Can anyone beat this?

Hi Guys this is my first post so let me know if you need anymore information or I've done something stupid!

• The Quote itself: £442.80 Flights only
• Who the quote is from: Direct with Delta Airlines
• Is there a booking fee: No
• The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Delta Airlines
• The departure Airport/Post: London Gatwick
• The Holiday Dates: 07/03/09 to 21/03/09
• The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
• The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): N/A
• The Board (self catering/half board etc): N/A
• Any specific requirements: No
• Is an in-flight meal included: Yes

The flights are London Gatwick to Ft. Walton Beach Florida as that seemed to be the best option for price and travel times as we are going to Panama City Beach. We would consider any other airport options for departure or arrival if the price did compensate for travelling, but would prefer shorter distance to be relatively close if possible. The dates are fixed due to work commitments and the flights quoted are outbound 9:15am to 4:15pm and inbound 4:55pm to 8:30am both with a stopover in Atlanta.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.
