    Thanks Del, making us who are currently sat in offices feel much better :rotfl:.

    Have you seen my quote above? I don't seem to be able to book this hotel on these dates through anyone other than Thomson. Any ideas?

    • The Quote itself: £1,160
    • Who the quote is from: British Airways
    • Is there a booking fee: No
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: British Airways
    • The departure Airport/Post: London gatwick to Tampa, Florida
    • The Holiday Dates: 1 sept 2010 to 15 sept 2010
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults, 1 9 month old baby
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): none, staying with family
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): none
    • Any specific requirements: assigned seats on plane
    • TRANSFERS: n/a
    • Is an in-flight meal included: yes
    Flexible on dates, anytime in September. Flexible on airports - depart from any London or Bristol. Need to either fly into Tampa or have a reasonable connection ending up in Tampa.
    BA is the only direct flight. The Continental Bristol to Tampa via Newark flight has ridiculous layovers that aren't realistic travel with an infant. Virgin always has deals to Orlando, but can't find a way other than renting a car to get over to Tampa (no train, bus, etc). Air Canada does Heathrow to Tampa via Toronto, but only seem to have an overnight layover? First Choice does Bristol to Orlando direct, but again the dilemma of getting over to Tampa (my mom's not able to drive that far to collect us). US Airways has deals, but after a horrific flight experience never flying with them again (what with the almost dying and all...)
    Thanks if anyone has any ideas or can help!
