    Parents have booked accommodation for us in Malta and we can choose any 7 nights in last 2 weeks in May - which is obviously lovely and very generous - however it looks like our flights will cost myself, partner and daughter near enough £750 - eek! (for a bargain holiday ..... ). I know Ryanair do this route however their timetable hasn't appeared yet and the flights need to be booked by the end of the week.

    Unfortunately parents paid a deposit without researching the flights :o - got carried away in the throes of an Elvis tribute night whilst in Malta last month and signed up to this.

    We are in the process of booking our summer holiday for 2010 and have our villa booked and have been trying to find flights from Orlando to Glasgow.

    We have been quoted £2100 from Globespan and £2200 from Virgin (I would rather go with Virgin in this instance than no frills for £100 extra)

    I have only priced for my family however we will be travelling as a party of 14 - made up of 8 adults - 2 x 16 year olds, a 4 year old and 3 x 12 year olds.

    Would any of you lovely travel agents be able to get us a cheaper quote.

    Many Thanks in advance
