    Hi, Im after beating a price as below please!

    Who the quote is from: The Holiday Place.com
    Is there a booking fee: No (but i would be using c/c to book)
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Virgin Airlines
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick (Midlands would be preferable!)
    The Holiday Dates: 28 June 09 10 nights
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2. I adult, 1 child age 16
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Varadreo: Varadero International 7 nights, Havana: Inglaterra 3 nights
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): AI/BB
    Any specific requirements: No
    Is an in-flight meal included: yes
    Quote is for £739 each.

    I assume at 16, my son is classed as an adult. Would prefer it to be 14 nights total, but cant find an option for that anywhere :confused: , so i am either looking to beat the 10 night price, or come somewhere near the same price for 14 nights. I would like to keep to the same hotels as quoted.

    Many thanks for your help!!!!

    am new to internet so help with finding hols would be great.

    why not have alook at www.travel.co.uk

    it allows you to find cheapest holidays by dates,shows you different prices for different dates.
    Dont forget to put in the hotel name followed by the word tripadviser to check out the hotel.look at tripadvisers ratings-after reading a few you will discover whether a 3 rating or eg a 3 and a half tripadviser rating, is what you can manage to get for your money.

    Thought i would try this on the holiday im looking at for my Sister.It was £745 with Thomas Cook and through this site you mention it was £130 more so best to shop around as in this instance its definetly not the cheapest.
