Hi,

Just wondered whether anyone would mind looking at whether they may be able to beat a quote I've received. Me and my friend are looking to go to India and S.E.Asia for a couple of months at the end of Jan '2012. I'm going to go onto South America on my own too. After several quotes from various agents the cheapest one way flights we've found to Delhi from London are on Skyscanner. Details below.

Destination: Delhi (India - sorry for stating the obvious!)
The Quote itself: £327 per person
Who the quote is from: 9flights via skyscanner
Is there a booking fee: Not that I'm aware of
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Air India
The departure Airport/Post: London Heathrow
The Holiday Dates: 28th January 2012 - One way
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 (32yrs old - Me and 25yrs old)
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Back packing so no accomadation required
The Board (self catering/half board etc): Back packing so no accomadation required
Any specific requirements:
Is an in-flight meal included: Unsure

After reading a post on here about 9flights to say I'm a bit dubious about their offer would be an understatement. Any help or quotes that are able to beat the details stated would be appreciated?

Looking to book flights in the next 24hrs so, I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. Sorry for not posting earlier, but only just found this forum (sod's law).

Looking to book my flights to South America soon too, so any advice that anyone has to offer would be appreciated too. I'm looking at travelling end of May beginning of June 2012 for 2 months to South America. After a lot of research it looks as though it'd be cheaper to fly back to London from Singapore (which is where I'll be ar that time), and then fly to South America from London (Sao Paulo return). This is working out cheaper then to fly from Singapore to South America one way. I'm guessing this is due to the distance, as it's working out that a one way ticket is same price as a return from London.

Thanks in advance

Hi ,
Was wondering if there are any cheaper options for this particular hotel as it ticks all the boxes. Our budget is about £2200 2 adults and 7 year old for 10 nights all inc. The travel catalogue stated free kids, which with 2 paying adults came up to about 2260 , however it turned out that free child places are already gone and its now way over our budget -this is the cheapest I found
