Recommendation for multi centre travel company?

Ems!

Hi all

i'm starting to have a look round for ideas for our "big" holiday for this year. We fancy something a bit different and so thought we would probably go for a multi centre hol, and try to go to places we haven't been.

The 3 ideas we have are:

Cuba : week at the beach then a week "tour"

Dubai & sri lanka ( a week at each) ( wildly differing quotes depending on hotels/ dates etc, but seems nr our price!!)

USA: - fancy one we saw on virgin which was las vegas/ cancun/ New York ( quoted 1350 pp)


All the above would be for 2 weeks.

The main websites I have been able to find where I can search for anything like this are kuoni and virgin. I found various options for the first 2 on kuoni and the USA one on virgin. its all coming out a bit above our price range at the moment, and wondered if anyone knew of any other sites that I could look at? I would rather look on the ointernet and find something then call up to book reather than go into a travel agent. I just feel pressured to book somthing there and then and also I just like looking for hols so prefer to spend many a happy hr in the internet!

We ideally want to spend about £1,150 pp for 2 adults, going around 10/10, though this is flexible. Open to other places too but particularly fancy places mentioned above . Would like a package deal so can book now but pay off monthly , rather than buying flights up front now. Wondered if anyone can point me in direction of good sites to try, or any other suggestions/ comments on the places we are looking at?

Cheers:D

( ps sorry post is a bit long!!)

You should be able to get something for all three of those destinations through Kuoni for £1,150 each.

Also, you can go through Quidco for cashback! x

Before you jump in and actually book with Kuoni, get a quote from them (they'll give you a quote number) then pop into a Co-op Travel office and ask them to price up exactly the same holiday with Kuoni.

We did this for a 3 week trip to Bali, the girl at Co-op Travel rang Kuoni who asked her the customer's name, gave her EXACTLY the same flight timings, EXACTLY the same quote number and EXACTLY the same price as they'd given us a few hours earlier.

We then asked the manager at the Co-op if they could do us a better deal and they knocked £75 off the Kuoni price (4%).
I know it's not a fortune but at least it was better in our pocket than Kuoni's, and it went a long way towards paying for car parking at Heathrow.

They did offer us free insurance but we have annual insurance so that was no use to us.

Anyone know any other sites - esp for America ? - can't get anywhere near my budget on kuoni for USA trip.

Thanks!
