    Hi,

    Can anyone help? Would prefer the sea front junior suite, but would consider sea view suite or any good deals on any of the 'swim up' or Casita suites if anyone has those available?

    Thanks!

  • I am looking to travel to Cape Town in Oct from Heathrow.

    2 Adults
    Business Class Direct flights
    Depart 5th Oct, Return 19th Oct (could move dates +/- 3 Days)
    Best so far is £2105 per person with KLM.
    We could tie this in with a 5 day hotel stay if it makes the price cheaper.

    Any ideas please.

    Are you sure these KLM flights are direct? KLM usually go via AMSterdam. I may be wrong but I thought only S.A Airways, Virgin & BA went direct?

    Hope someone can come up with something interesting. Will consider different dates (+/- 7days) and different hotels/studios in Pefkos, but this place gets good reviews!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.
