    Is this a flight only quote?

    This request is a bit off the wall in that I am looking for 24 places for an All Inclusive holiday to Majorca. Because these will be sold onto the members of our club, they must be purchased as a package, I cannot buy the elements separately as we don't have ATOL bonding.

    The best price we've found up to now is for the Sol Mirdos/ Tordos hotel in Palma Nova, leaving from Gatwick Airport on Friday 24th July for one week. The flight here is a British Airways flight, and the hotel and transfer were costed from Travel Republic with the prices being £924 for one adult and one child, £1,230 for 1 adult and 2 children. I am looking for something in the region of this price, supplied as a complete package.

    It is likely we will run this trip 2-3 times a year through our club, and are also looking at other foreign holidays - if anyone wishes to discuss a more formal supply partnership please do pm me.

    Thanks for reading,
    Libby

  • Can anyone beat the quote below. I could be flexible on the hotel but it would have to be somewhere very close to where the hotel below is situated. The price below has gone up by £70 in the last few days, Is it likely to go up again if i leave it? I was assuming it could only go down with the current credit crisis.

    The Quote itself: £744
    Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook Webstite
    Is there a booking fee:No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Direct Holidays
    The departure Airport/Post: East Midlands
    The Holiday Dates: 21/03/09 - 28/03/09
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Oasis Dunas Corallejo
    The Board (self catering/half board etc):Self Catering
    Any specific requirements:None
    Is an in-flight meal included:Yes

    I would only have to pay about £70 up front for the above holiday.

    Many Thanks
