    Any specific requirements:
    Is an in-flight meal included:Yes

    flights are as follows:
    9/09 LHR 2:10PM, arr SFO 5:14PM
    13/09 SFO 12:51PM, arr HNL 3:05PM
    20/09 HNL 7:50PM, arr EWR 11:30AM 21/09
    24/09 EWR 6:40PM, arr LHR 6:45PM 25/09

    I have been quoted £783 by trailfinders out/in to LHR. Also quoted £914 by them out GLA/in EDI, both via LHR.

    I have got a quote from the United airlines website for out/in to LHR for £747. I am in Glasgow so would need to get internal flights (I believe the direct flight from EWR to GLA is fully booked??)

    I would need to book hotels separately but will sort flights first so if anyone can help it will be much appreciated.

    Dates are flexible 2 days either side if I really have to....

    TIA
