    Ok Teletext holidays quoted the price at £394pp which is lovely, however media travel are putting an extra £241 & 2% Fee on this price for checkin baggage and transfers.

    I don't need transfers because the hotel is 10 mins from the airport and I can go anytime upto 6th Sep.

    If anyone can help then I thank you :)

    This is the best deal that i can find, we are looking to go to somewhere within a 4 hour flight time, really not fussed where. Can fly from man, liverpool blackpool. Can go any date from 5th Aug and lastest day of travel would be 10th aug. Just want somewhere with a swimming pool, evening entertainment would be a bonus, but not a nessecity.
