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 Quote itself: £385 pp for direct flights from Manchester to Varadero and a single night's accommodation

- Is there a booking fee: No
- The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: First Choice/First Choice/Hotel allocated on arrival (one night only)
- The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
- The Holiday Dates: 27 February (depart 10am) to 13 March (depart depart 18:25). I'm flexible on dates though - we can go anytime after 6 February up until April)

My wife and myself are interested in a 2 week A/I Holiday to Mexico in March.
We have received a quote for £1226 pp from First Choice(Eclipse) online for the dates 3rd March (flying out from Gatwick with Thomson Air) returning 17th March(from Cancun).
The Hotel we want to stay in is the Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya. The quote is for a standard room. For pre-bookable seating we have to pay an extra £40. All enquiries through the usual channels have said that the price on their online website can't be beaten. Our budget is around £1000. Can anyone beat this quote?0 -
