Hi looking for a quote to beat £637.97 pp all taxes included
Round trip flights for two adults
London heathrow to Buenos Aires 30/06/10
Buenos Aires to Mexico city 13/07/10
Mexico city to London gatwick 28/07/10
Quote is from American airlines, but flights are with Iberia LAN and Mexicana.
Dates are flexible a few days either way but must include being in Argentina a day or two either side of 11/07/10 (total solar eclipse).
Mexico city is also possibly a flexible destination, my remit is somewhere interesting and warm (outside Europe) on the way back from mid winter in Argentina. Mexico seemed the cheapest/best connected.

Probably looking to spend £300 each half board
update- just seen the beach is mainly shingle and beach shoes are needed really, thats the one thing putting us off the area so0 -
