Hi all,
Probably a long shot but My sister is looking for a flight to Jamaica to visit our parents. The problem is she works in education, so like the kids is not allowed to take holidays in term-time. She wanted to flight out around the 17th of December or so and return before school/college resumes after Xmas I think around 5th Jan 2008.
We have been searching round but the prices are absolutely silly! £700 upwards. I did see one yesterday for around £590 but thats still too much. She'd be looking to pay no more than £400 if possible.

Unfortunately (for teachers) it's the busiest time for travel, and you would never get a (scheduled) flight to Kingston for those dates under £400. Also, by leaving it late there is no availability anyway. I'll give you an example. On the 5th Jan there is 1 Business Class seat left on the Virgin flight from Kingston - Gatwick - and nothing else.
I don't know about the charter flight market, but i'd be amazed if it made your budget. In fact, i'd probably book it myself.0
