    I've taken an occasional peek at a couple of things, and noticed that a lot of people are quoting 'from' prices for unrealistic times. Bit hard for peoplo to beat a quote if it's not an actual quote....

  • Hi all, i've been set the task from my Sister in law to find her 7 nights at the hotel Laguna Park II Appartments (Self Catering) in the resort Playa De Las Americas, Tenerefe. They wanted to go on November 10th - 17th but flights only exist on the 9th-16th.

    Using the guide i found the holiday on moneysupermarket for £305pp as a final cost for everything (£17pp transfers).

    I then went on to teletext and they quote £235pp but don't offer any more info. Does teletext usually include all the extras like taxes,transfers,fuel costs?

    I then go direct to the site off teletext and find it for £263pp. Will the £28 difference be the extras?

    Of course i would love you to find it cheaper.

    dates: 9th November - 16th November
    From: Any midlands
    To: Tenerefe > Playa De Las Americas > Laguna Park II Appartments (not I) ***
    Board: SC
    Party: 2 Adults

    to - Lanzarote - Costa Teguise - Trebol apts. - all inclusive (3 apts)
    this is for 6 adults - 6 children (12,11,7,4,3,2) & 1 infant
