  • Hi, do we still have travel agents on here that can help with holidays? If so, I am looking for the following:
    • 2 adults, 2 children aged 16 and 5, plus one infant
    • leaving around 19th October for 1 week
    • travelling from any north west airport
    • somewhere warm and sunny, so probably Canaries unless an alternative is suggested?
    • Would prefer to go AI or HB but have in the past gone SC then upgraded once at the hotel..
    • Budget £1k ish...
    If anyone can help or has any suggestions?

    Many thanks :)
