  • Hi all,

    Can anyone please beat the following flight prices to Puerto Rico (SJU)?
    * The Quote itself: £1574 (i.e. £787 each)
    * Who the quote is from: terminalA.com/uk
    * Is there a booking fee: no
    * The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: US Airways
    * The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    * The Holiday Dates: 24/12/09-03/01/10 (afternoon departures only on 3/1/10)
    * The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    * The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): n/a
    * The Board (self catering/half board etc): n/a

    We'd rather spend a bit more money than have a flight combination that takes over 20hours.
    Thanks - Jim

    Family holiday, hope someone can beat this.
    Dates and departure are flexible but would prefer beginning of school holidays. Also flexible on airport - leeds/bradford is nearest to us. This hotel is all singing and dancing and looks fab but need to shave some off the cost as price out of our reach for s/c. thanks
