Is this a confirmed price through Teletext as they tend to add extras onto the price you see on screen.

If someone could send me a PM on some good holidays I'd appreciate it:

Basically anywhere hot-ish (not Spain as been so many times and not Turkey as went last year) - such an open enquiry that i am finding it dificult to search each destination. Have looked at Greece, Egypt, Tunisia but am finding it hard.

Sorry to be so vague

I have been quoted £285.70
Flying LGW-JFK 31st August 12:00
Returning 27th May JFK-LHR 21:30
Flying British Airways.

I need to be in New York before 8pm on 31st, and this flight charges £70 to change flights, which I may well need. Can anyone beat this?

I foolishly left it late to book this year and the prices are high for this resort and flights are getting fuller....

We are slightly flexible with the dates (give or take say 4 days) but do want to go half board or all inclusive and it has to be in Cala Galdana.

Any thoughts would be really welcomed.
Cheers
Nicola.
