If you can beat this quote I would be really glad to hear from you. I could consider departing with BA on 11th May 2014 if cheaper. I could also consider Virgin or BA flight in all South West, All London Airports and even Midland. Could consider Thomson only if this is Dreamliner.

The Quote itself: 1408
Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook
Is there a booking fee:No fee, only 2% for paying by card
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel:Thomas Cook/ Escapades
The departure Airport/Post:East Midlands
The Holiday Dates:29.08.2013
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages):3 adults 1 child 15 years old
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival):Martinique, Magaluf
The Board (self catering/half board etc):All inclusive
Any specific requirements:None
Is an in-flight meal included:None
When we tried to book this, we were told we were unable to as Thomas Cook, only sell this as an Escapades holiday. So they wouldnt let us book our 15 year old, who we had listed as an adult in the quote. When booking direct with the hotel they do accept children, so I was wondering if anybody can come up with a quote?0 -

Hi Craig
That seems to be a very good price for all of you,especially the time you are going!
