  • When you ar ready to book please repost, this holiday will almost defo be higher by the end of the month due the easyjet flight increase

    Many thanks Del - when do Easyjet increase their fares? Will try and get leave agreed sooner if this makes a difference.
  • Me and partner have been looking for a summer holiday that is a max of around £400pp. For this we were orginally after AI or HB at a push for 10-14 nights, and we are entirely flexible on dates (ideally within June) and location. Balerics, Zante, Tunisa were ideal locations.

    I was looking at Ibiza AI, but this was coming up at upwards of £650 for 7 nights!! Below is what i judged as the best offer out of everything i have seen for Ibiza, however it meant sacrificing the board we wanted, and accepting a lower star rating, although we can just about cope with the fact its 18-30. Anything similar (better) will be fab! :D

    The Quote itself: £243pp (£486 Total)
    Who the quote is from: ThomasCook online(Club 18-30)
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Club 18-30
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates: Sat 19th June – Sat 3rd July 10
    The number of people travelling: 2
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Hotel Apolo 2*
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): BB
    Any specific requirements: No
    Is an in-flight meal included: No

    Room includes Shower, Bath and Balcony or terraces

    Hi

    Easyjet flights increase once they sell seats on the aircraft and of course in peak periods they sell fast

    You would be better off to be booking sooner rather than later, try and get the leave sorted and come back to us

    Thanks

  • I'm looking to fly to Bangkok on 26th July from Heathrow and return on the 23rd August. There are two adults (both 23) flying and the best quote I can find is from the website Crystal Travel . co.uk flying with EVA Air. The flight is direct although I dont mind a changeover. Total Price is £1489.44 including Airline Failure Fee and ATOL Protection Charges.
