    Hi, can anyone beat this? It's a last minute getaway to Cyprus. With it being so last minute i was hoping to get closer to £500p/p:
    • Tour operator: Olympic Holidays
    • Bristol to Larnaca (Cyprus)
    • Departing 18/10/09 at 11.15am, returning 25/10/09 at 7am from Larnaca with Eurocypria Airlines
    • 2 adults only
    • St Raphael Resort, Limassol
    • All inclusive, 7 nights, twin/double room with sea-view
    • Price includes transfers, all fuel supps, tax etc
    • Does not inlcude (as we don't want it) flight meals or extra baggage allowance
    • Total price is £1383.47
    Hoping to book this by tomorrow evening (Monday) - if you can't help thanks for reading.

    Cheers

    Update: HOLIDAY NOW BOOKED - Just by waiting 24 hrs the price had come down to £1,328.57 and a travel agent warned me that the flight was becoming very full (might have been a scare tactic but it worked!).

    I have been quoted £2202 for 2 adults and 2 kids (13 and 16) to Evelin Apartments (3 star) in Platanes near Rethymnon on Crete leaving East Midlands Airport on the 23/07/10 and returning on the 6/08/10 in a self catering 1 bed apartment - not included in price is in flight meal but you get the coach transfer free - with Thomson.

    Wondering if anyone could beat it? My specific requirements are that we stay in Platanes the above dates as we are meeting family there from abroad and I'm looking to book by the middle of the week. We can fly from either Birmingham but prefer East Midlands Airport. Thanks.
