    Hiya
    Right here's what I'm after:

    2 adults and 1 7yr old
    Travelling from July 15th 2011(am flexible from that date thru Aug) for 2 wks.
    Going to Es Cana, Ibiza
    Travel from Doncaster/East Mids/Birmingham/Manchester and would like early morning flights.
    Would like the Ereso hotel or Cala Nova.
    Best price I've found for the Ereso is around £2100
    Cala Nova around £1900

    If anyone could find cheaper that would be fab!!
    Thanks

    • The Quote itself: £505 for return flight from LHR to MIA, then £267 return from MIA to EIS (per person, flights only)
    • Who the quote is from: sourced myself (after HOURS of looking at best alternatives!)
    • Is there a booking fee: only hundreds of pounds of taxes
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Virgin then AA
    • The departure Airport/Post: LHR
    • The Holiday Dates: 2nd Sept leaving UK, overnight in Miami in order to get good flight times both in UK and Miami, we'll arrive in Tortola at 9pm on 3/9 having stopped for a couple of hours in Puerto Rico. Staying there for 2 weeks then flying back to Miami on 17th, we'll be returning around 20 - 22/9, that bit's v flexible as we're happy to have a few days in Miami on way back home
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): N/A for Tortola and seen a few nice places in Miami so this is just for flights really
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): N/A
    • Any specific requirements: No silly early flight times (def not before 9am) and no more than 1 stop per section, really we think this can't be beaten but thought we'd give it a go! Ready to book now, or will be booking this if it can't be beaten by Monday. Also looked at flying AA all the way which would have meant overnighting in SJU instead, hardly any difference in price and better flight times/flexibility with Virgin then AA I think but I stand to be corrected :o)
    • Is an in-flight meal included: It's a long flight if they don't feed us!
    • Other info: I have spent AGES looking at this, as we live in the Midlands so will have to travel down to London the night before, but the flights from BHX were such a pain I gave up! We have the choice of a silly start time, a very late arrival in Miami for our first overnight stop after a mega-long journey inc stops, or driving to London for good direct flight times with Virgin who we both like, so went for that option. If anyone knows how to get from BHX to MIA without it taking over 12hrs then please let me know! Don't mind one stop as long as not too long. Any other advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated but after the last few days I think I could write my own website on how to get from UK to Tortola!! Hmmm there's an idea ;o)
    Booking today so no need for contact now, thanks for looking anyway x
