    Hi

    We are looking for a holiday - really flexible. Details as follows:

    2 adults
    1 child - 2 on return
    1 infant - 1 on return

    Fly from Glasgow on 11th/12th September for 1 week. Looking for all inclusive and not too bothered where. Something very family orientated. Prob Spain, Greece, Italy or Turkey. Not a long flight with two small kids. Would like either 4 or 5 star.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction of a fabulous deal :j

    Thanks
    Laura

    Looking to head to Dubai for 4/5 nights from November 25th onwards or thereabouts. One adult (Over 18), one 17 year old, one 15 year old.

    What kind of price am I looking at? I got quoted £1400 on Expedia for 4* Hotel? Is this about right?

    ****Now Booked, thank you****

    Hi Agents,

    The Deal for beating:

    The Quote itself: £1295 per person - Ultra All Inclusive Deal
    Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook Store - Aberdeen
    Is there a booking fee: No, other than 2.5CC charge (looking for this to be waived)

    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomas Cook/Thomas Cook Airlines/Excellence Riviera Maya (Puerto Morelos) Riviera Maya.
    The departure Airport/Post: Glasgow 28 Sept 09 return 13 Oct 09

    Destination: Excellence Riviera Maya (Puerto Morelos) Riviera Maya, Mexico

    The Holiday Dates: 06/06/10 to 17/06/10
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adult
    Essentials included: In flight meals, resort coach transfers, 20kg hold luggage, 5kg hand luggage, two seats together.

    We would be more interested in the Glasgow to Cancun flight leaving 25/09/09 returning 10/10/09 with Thomson if combined with the above Hotel and certainly the minimum "essentials included" as above.

    Other hotels of interest are Riu Palace Riviera Maya (not Riu Palace mexico) and El Dorado Royale if excellent prices can be offered.

    I look forward to any helpful pm's.

    Many thanks,

    DB
