I've put down a returnable deposit on this holiday but I'm curious to know if its considered a good deal? Hadn't intended to book today and was browsing for inspiration really.....I felt a bit pressured into things by travels agent(s) telling me it was a "great deal" and "the price won't stay this low....."

Any opinions - other than I need to be more assertive?!!!

I got some great help from sloppychops this week and my mate now needs some great holiday prices. Can Anyone please help in getting a better deal than this with a free child place with Fisrt Choice. He is flexible (ish) on the dates around the end of march.

Forgot to mention that dates are a wee bit flexible, we want 2 weeks away and can leave from 26th July and need to be back by 16th August. Flight doesn't need to be from Glasgow either, we would actually prefer any other Scottish airport. The Fantasia gets fairly good write ups so don't want to change that unless of similar reported (not claimed) quality.....
