We only want to travel Business class with XL and premium economy with anyone else.

I have checked prices today for flights leaving tomorrow(friday) and they haven't changed online, which seems a bit strange as I would expect prices to drop prior to the departure date. XL at my last check still had 10 seats available in their business class section out of 24 available seats so why no reduction???

I would also need accommodation, transfers and a connecting flight from Scotland to the departure airport.

We can leave anytime and want to go somewhere in the caribbean, we would prefer Barbados as we have been before but the price would need to be right for a last minute deal.

Please do your best.

Thanks

Not following the rules but here goes.

I have a week off commencing Friday 30th November and want a holiday!!

Dont mind where I go the only requirements is a bit of sea, sand, action packed things to do wherever I stay, and some nightlife.

Basic accommodation and basic flights is all thats needed.

2 adults would prefer 7 nights.
Can fly out Friday or Saturday from any London.
Looking maximum £150 per person
