    Hi

    I am looking for an All Inclusive holiday (7 nights) to either, Lanzerote, Sharm el Sheik, Morroco, or pretty much anywhere else hot, 3* plus for a family of five, kids ages 11, 5, 2. We are looking to go anyday from 31st May 2012, but must be back by 10th June 2012. I had been hoping to get something cheaper than £2000.

    Any nhelp, please
    Wins 2009:Total : £2500 :j
    First they came for the crack users; but I said nothing. I was not a crack user. Then they came for the heroin users. But I said nothing - I was not a heroin user. Then they came for me. There was no one left to speak for me. (after Pastor Niemoller)

    Hi there

    We have found some great accommodation in Skiathos but our problem is now the flights. They were a lot more expensive than we had budgeted for!

    The Quote itself: £909.96 (for 2 adults inc baggage)
    Who the quote is from: Thomson
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson
    The departure Airport: Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates: 06/09/2011 returning 13/09/2011
    The number of people travelling: 2 Adults
    Is an in-flight meal included: No

    Can anyone beat this, or is this just the usual price for the time of year?
    We were hoping to get our flights and accommodation for less than £1000 all in, but the accommodation is 475 euros....

    Please help if you can!
    Thanks
