    Hi I wondered if anyone could beat my quote. I am looking to go to florida in november anytime I could even push to anytime in october if the price was right. There will be two adults and one 5 year old and one 2 year old. We want to go for 2 weeks prefer to stay on interntional drive in a hotel or similer with free shuttle to all the theme parks etc. Like I say our dates are very flexible to get the right price. We will be flying from any London prefer Gatwick. At the moment the best deal I have found is leaving on 14 november return 28 November staying at Crown Plaza Universal. All flights, Transfers and shuttle bus included for £2800 I am sure someone must be able to beat this? I f I had more time I would call all tour operators but really have not got the time ( need to earn the pennys for holiday!!) If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. PM me or reply if you can help.


    Many thanks in adavnce :)

    The Quote £3051 (including discount and £15 off via quidco)
    From -Thomson
    Booking fee - no
    Tour operator - Thomson flight - hotel Riu Tequila
    Departing - Newcastle
    Dates - 15-29 June 2012
    2 adults and teenager 15years
    All inclusive- 20kg luggage and coach transfer included as well as in flight meals
    Can anyone beat this please??
    Have a bit of flexibility in that can travel from most northern airports and can start the 14 days either 15th,16th or 17th if need be

    Do I take it from the lack of any response that nobody is readily able to beat this ? I did think it was a good deal :) I see Thomson is no longer offering the £40 off, but will maybe hang on a wee while, as I notice that historically they have had varying amounts off by way of code every month or so.

    I know this isn't what your looking for but I've been quoted 3 weeks in July, villa, flights to Manchester (we live in N.I.) and then on to Orlando, and car hire for £ 3800. This is with dial a flight. I think your quote is a little steep.

    Forgot to mention, that is for 2 adults and 2 children aged 11 and 8
    LBM 04/10:j
    Debt was 16700
    Debt free 04/13 :j

    Owe mum 5100 12/16 :(
