I have just had a look at this flight on the return the only seats that are left with virgin are on upper class is this the only date you can travel?
I have also been online with virgin and this is the same online, they must have sold out of economy seating on the return flight therefore putting the cost right up
Thanks

I'm looking for a holiday to either the Balerics or Canary Islands, flying from Leeds Bradford, anytime in March, for 3 adults, 1 child (2.5 years) and 1 infant (6months).
One of the adults in Spanish and so we can not go to a "brits abroad" type place.
Ideal is Next to the beach, outdoor heated swimming pool, two bedrooms in one apartment, half board (or all inclusive), includes transfers, luggage, cot for baby, high chair etc.

Hi, can anyone help me? I've found a deal to Cuba (either Varadero, Havana, Holguin or Cayo Coco are the options they give you) with First Choice whereby you get flights and a single night's accommodation, which is allocated on arrival. The idea is that we want to travel independently around the country, so if anyone knows of flights alone which are cheaper than this quote, I'd be happy to hear about those too.

- The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
- The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): *
- The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room Only
- Any specific requirements: No - we could also fly from Gatwick/Heathrow if the price was worthwhile though.
