    The Quote itself: £476.50
    Who the quote is from: Broadway Travel
    Is there a booking fee: No (not as far as I can see anyway!)
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: I believe it's the following: Broadway Travel/Easyjet/Arcadia Hotel in Rome
    The departure Airport/Post: Bristol International Airport
    The Holiday Dates: 30th March 2010 - 3rd April 2010
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Arcadia 3*
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): B&B
    Any specific requirements:

    It's for my girlfriend's 21st which is on the 31st of March, and she wants to spend her birthday there. So we have to fly out the day before, but coming back, it's either 2 days or 3 days after it.

    The Hotel that has been selected for us isn't a big deal - ideally it would need to be near a train station that is easily linkable to the airport and it is near to the City Centre, but depending on anything I get back, I can be easily swayed! :D

    B&B is all that is needed - ideally we would want about £150 per day spending money, so I don't really want to pay much more than £400 for the flights and accomodation etc, but it would appear it's only easyjet that do this route in the South West that is simple and straight forward for us to do!

    Is an in-flight meal included: No, unless I pay £5 for a mini pizza! :rotfl:
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

    Thanks in advance - T8RSP :beer:

  • I'm new here and am looking for a flight only deal leaving as soon as possible from the 1st Feb onwards to Central/south america - Cancun, Mexico is the cheapest I've found at around 400 gbp, thought the one that left today was selling for 250 last week!
    Trip duration is not important as I'm only looking for a one way for now and then will return from somewhere further south (assuming that a return will be cheaper than a one way ticket)
    thanks for any help you can give

  • Another quick one: Flight from London to Miami, departing mid-to-late June, returning approx. 2 weeks later (dates and duration flexible for best deal). Best I have found is £414rtn with Virgin Atlantic. Any improvement likely there? Thanks again :):beer:
