Hi there can anyone beat this quote please.
3 adults 3 kids ages 16, 13 and 9 travelling to New York on 13th Oct til 17th Oct from Glasgow (could do Edinburgh)
been quoted £8568.92 by expedia staying in The Helmsley Park Lane, continental breakfast included.
I know its the fact that i have chosen direct flights only which has made this so expensive as if i go for indirect it was much cheaper but really don't want to add hours onto our journey if we can help it.
Thanks in anticipation:pwould like to make it known it is not a DHN, she's dancing
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.:A0 -
