We would prefer daytime flights preferably 1/2/3 September for 10 days if possible.

If I book flight and hotel separate it's coming out at around £1600/£1700 and will do that if I can't get the right price. Thanks

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!

I've just booked with Dawson and Sanderson for Iberostar Grand Rose Hall. I am flying out on the 9th September returning on the 30th, I will be lucky enough to stay with family for the first two weeks, my last week will be staying at the Grand Rose for six nights, flying with Virgin, price paid was £1,479 each for the entire holiday. You could try Expedia direct, Dawson are also Expedia Agents.

Just done a search on your dates price coming up £1,532 at the moment, web page stating only two trips left at this price (don't know how true this statement is!) flights are two stop both ways flying with Delta flying in and out of LHR!! (sorry correction on PM sent)

If anybody could try and beat this for me that would be much appreciated. Not the best at trying to find a good deal, haven't been abroad with the family for around 10 years, and then we didn't fly. Would be happy with majority of places in Majorca, and flights from Cardiff would be fine too, possibly Birmingham if there was a good save. Please pm me if you find anything as I'm struggling, our budget is around £1000.

Thanks very much

We are flexible on dates, leaving any time between 21st July and 20th August (returning 14 days later).



The above is a quote for a family room sleeping us all. The only other date that I have found an available family room is on 20th Aug, with a price of £4643 (£4939 less 6% discount). However since the prices are so close, I prefer the earlier date.


However, I am prepared to consider two rooms if there is a significant saving. (I had found a price of £4846 for 2 rooms, but no longer available).


Interested to hear if anyone can get a better saving.
