Not sure but I personally would be a bit wary of booking with Globespan at the moment http://www.ttglive.com/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=3208370&CMPI_SHARED_articleId=3451656&CMPI_SHARED_ImageArticleId=3451656&CMPI_SHARED_articleIdRelated=3451656&CMPI_SHARED_ToolsArticleId=3451656&CMPI_SHARED_CommentArticleId=3451656&articleTitle=Globespan%20denies%20on-the-brink%20rumours


At the very least make sure you use a credit card for the extra protection.

Hi All, please can you help me. I am getting married on May 6th 2010 and looking for a cheapish honeymoon away. We live in Cornwall and Newquay airport is only 15 minutes away so that is good for us. It flys direct to Alicante, so a holiday to benidorm seems the obvious choice. We are happy with that. We want to fly from newquay as we are taking our 2 year old daughter with us, who has cerebral palsy. and we are hoping this would be less of a hassle with it being local and don't have to pay car park.
we are looking to fly on May 11th for 7 days. looking for a 4-5 star full board or inclusive. Flights at the moment are down to £21.99 per person, so it would cost £160 plus £90 for luggage, which i think is very pricey, does anyone know when ryanair drop the prices? a couple hotels which i have found and like are Deloix Aqua Centre and Hotel Mediterraneo. On teletext the all inclusives are coming in at £960 for us for a week. i was hoping to get it for around £500-£600 if possible. is this realistic?
many thanks in advance for your help
cheers
Adam
the cheapest i have found for Deloix Aqua Centre is £402.55 on full board for the 3 of us on last check. and the cheapest for Hotel Mediterraneo is £529.81 on All inclusive. plus we would need shuttles on top

i have found a couple quotes for packages
