Hi
First post on here so I've no idea if I'm doing it right...
I'm looking for a late deal to Spain/Cyprus/Greece at a push. We'd like quiteness, and a beach, and there is two of us. Both over 18. We are looking to spend around £600 if possible, and fly next week (pref Monday, really want a break!)
Have found Kos for £222 each, but can't speak a word of Greek so would much prefer Spain if possible...really not into clubbing, though, would much prefer somewhere to relax.

Thank you so much!

Hi all

Can anyone give me a quote for 2 adults, flight only.
Travelling to New York in September for 2 weeks (after 8th).
Flying from Manchester, don't mind flying into JFK or Newark.

I would prefer direct flights and also need travel/health insurance, my mum is 68.

I also don't want any hidden extras.

Current quote is about £400 including taxes etc per person.

If not, can anyone recommend an airline, I've been looking at reviews and I can't decide who to steer clear of. Also do any of them do free drinks?

Many thanks
Helen

ESMERALDA would be our first choice...................

Look forward to hearing from you.

The Quote itself: £283.69 per person (inc. transfers & travel insurance)
Who the quote is from: cheapholidays.com
Is there a booking fee: no - debit/credit card charge 1%
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel:
The departure Airport/Post: London Gatwick - Bodrum Milas

The Holiday Dates: 31st July for 7 nights.
The number of people travelling: 2 adults
The Hotel: Small World Hotel

Flight times are very good, Gatwick dep. 10:25 - Bodrum arr. 16:30

Only concern is early transfer (might not show?)

Can travel from 26th July - late Aug, but preferably somewhere between 26th July & 7th Aug.

Can't find many reviews for Cheapholidays.com but I understand they are connected to Flightline.co.uk who seem to have some good reviews?

The Quote itself: £439 per person
Who the quote is from: A1 Travel
Is there a booking fee: no
The Hotel: Mitsis Rinela Beach Hotel
The departure Airport/Post: Birmingham
The Holiday Dates: 17/09/2010
Duration: 7 days
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 4 adults 2 rooms
Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
Any specific requirements: No
Is an in-flight meal included: Yes

Transfers also included but if its easy to get a taxi to hotel to save a bit of cash we are willing to do this.

Thanks for looking and hopefully can get a better price, holiday is for 4 adults (couples) and have seen the above hotel and all agreed it looks lovely and all agreed on Crete as our preferred destination for the money. Price has been beaten by £5 by imperial travel but after reading reviews from various sources we all agree that booking with them may be a bit risky!
Thanks again!
