    Can anyone beat either of these prices? If anyone could find a shorter return flight or a direct flight both ways at the same price it would be amazing but if that's not possible I am happy to take exactly the same deals at a lower price. I would like to book in the next 7 days at most, which one will very much depend on the prices.

    Thanks!
