    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!

  • Hi,

    Would appreciate any help in beating my quote for this last minute Disneyland Paris package without travel.
    Arrive: 12th July 2010
    Depart: 15th July (3 nights/4 days)
    Accomm: Newport Bay Hotel, Admiral room upgrade
    2 adults, 1 child aged 3, 1 child aged 1
    Half board Plus option

    Best price seems to be via DLP website - £966.60 - but hoping to improve on that. Planning to book Eurotunnel tickets separately.

    Thanks

    Hello,
    • The Quote itself: £3628
    • Who the quote is from: First Choice
    • Is there a booking fee: no
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: First Choice/Thomson Airways
    • The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    • The Holiday Dates: 26/08/10-09/09/10
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults 2 children (7+3)
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Animal Kingdom Lodge (non-Savannah room)
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): Free Disney Dining Plan (the middle one) included with purchase of tickets & hotel
    • Any specific requirements:
    • Is an in-flight meal included: included as standard but not worried if not.
    I would also prefer premium seats (+£596 on above quote with First Choice) also need Disney tickets - preferably 14 day Ultimate ticket (+£960 on above quote).

    So total cost of holiday with premium seats, free dining plan and 14 day Ultimate tickets is £5184.

    Happy to travel from any London airport..
    Also would actually prefer to leave slightly earlier so have some flexibility with dates - say any time from the 21st August for 2 weeks if the price was better.

    I've tried pricing up individually and haven't been able to beat the price myself, but then I'm not in the industry!

    Would also consider a different WDW resort of a similar level if the price was right and could remain on the middle dining plan (just incase there are any exceptional deals out there - obviously AKL is preference.)

    Many thanks for all your efforts, sorry if I gave too much information.

    I have been quoted £764.50 for 2 adults & 1 ten year old child, flying from Leeds/Bradford airport to Ibiza on 13th July 2010 (next week) & returning on 20th July (day flights) & staying in a 3 star all inclusive Allocation on arrival deal from low cost holidays.
