    Hi Jack

    This holiday is not available mate, the flights are not there from London. Virgin have flights but the are around 1000pp for AI

    There is a Manchester flight on the 22nd but the price is alot higher, I read something on the Forum about Ice Lolly advertising lots of deals that when the customers are ringing they are just not available

    Give them a call to clear this up

    2 Adults and 1 15 year old, have been told that he counts as an adult so pricing is for 3 adults (which I think is a bit unfair :mad:) anyhooo...

    As this is a bit complicated I'll explain:

    Return (Emirates) Melbourne 7th Jan to Glasgow with a 2 night stopover in Singapore (Park Royal Hotel).

    We have these flights "on hold" until tomorrow and just want to make sure we're getting the best value before confirming.

    Thanks in advance.
