    I know this is a bit back to front but I havent really been able to get much in the way of consistent quotes- Im looking to go to Dominican Republic for a week/10days in the last two weeks of August, all inclusive. The cheapest I have found is 3* £670 for a week AI. Anyone know if that is any good? Would I be better off waiting for a last minute deal? I have 19 days to take a week off in.

    cheers

    where would you be flying from?
