    Hi, I'm looking to book some flights (and possible hotel & car package) to the US for July/August this year. Our details are as follows;

    General holiday is a twin centre; 1 week in New York sightseeing & then 1 week down in Miami to relax. At the moment I am looking for flights, but could be tempted by accomodation in each location which includes breakfast & a swimming pool in Miami & car hire in Miami.

    Cheers Madcow

    Im not really the one to be beating quotes on FO, your better off calling around the likes of Dial A Flight, Flight Centre or Net Flights
