Hi, All,

I've been searching for a while and this is the best I've found:




The Quote itself: £443

• Who the quote is from: Lastminute.com and Opodo
• Is there a booking fee: No
• The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Emirates
• The departure Airport/Post: London Gatwick - return to Heathrow
• The Holiday Dates: 28 Nov - 28 Dec 2009
• The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 1
• The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): n/a
• The Board (self catering/half board etc): n/a
• Any specific requirements: Would have liked to return on 30th Dec but more expensive...could also leave on 29/30th Nov if it means a return on 30th Dec. Prefer late afternoon/evening flights.
• Is an in-flight meal included: I hope so!!

These flights are 18h05 there (1h35 stop-over) and 19h25 return (2h10 stop-over) via Dubai. The minimum time required for a connecting flight is 1 hour so, the excellent deal with Qatar for £368 is out as the time allowed, outbound, is only 30 min :mad: !!

There are MUCH cheaper flights available if I'm willing to travel for 25-30 hours, which I am not :eek: !! (Unless, of course, there is overnight stay included at stop-over and the total cost does not exceed the above quote. I have a South African passport so, visas would need to be considered if not an airport-based hotel.) Also, there is a good price of £409 with Afriqiyah Airways (via Tripoli, Libya) but I have been warned against it as the flight to Cape Town is new and only begins operation as of September. I have been warned that this could be cancelled and I may not be refunded.

This is a trip to visit my family ~ first Christmas home in 10 years!!!

Can anyone beat £443 ??

Thanks in advance! :beer:

I cant believe you really asked that :rotfl: as there is no way you would get an all inclusive to Turkey in June for £130 pp.

That seems a very good quote and very cheap for Half board?? are you sure they haven't quoted you BB by mistake?

I would just get them to double check for you as costs seem to be over £1000 more for half board.

Cheers
