There is no code as i changed it to direct with Thomas Cook as it was cheaper than Travel Republic.
Just found a flight with www.thomsonfly.com

Cheers sloopychops, do you reckon it is cheaper to book the hotel and flight separately then? As she is after a all inclusive0

I still think you are looking at £3700 ish for 2 weeks all inclusive whether you book it DIY or as a package"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0

Have a look at www.portlanddirect.co.uk as i am sure there were some at around £3350 on there when i was checking earlier."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0

Cool the cheapest all inclusive i have found so far was by ebookers..@ £3027
So I might have to suggest that, with the flights you have given, then she will have to look for a good reasonably priced hotel!
Thanks again :beer:0 -

Hi, there. Where did you get this quote from please? Im looking to go to Montego Bay in August and am trying to get a cheap virgin flight. Main reason for taking a schedule flight instead of charter, is because of the luggage allowance. On charters you can only take 20kgs and Im always going overweight.
Also doing the all inclusive package thing works out much cheaper. Jamaica is quite expensive and so once you're in an all inclusive hotel all you need is spending money. I normally stay at the Holiday Inn which is a family based hotel, but obviousy the time that I can go is high season. Normally I pay around £1300 per person. Children 12 and under are free, so you would only need to pay for flight.
Let me know where you got that quote from please. The cheapest Virgin flight so far for me has been £654, but as I said before, this is flying in the half term period.
I'll check out some sites and let you know what I come up with.
Thanks :beer:0 -
Hey Miss P, I am guessing she got that quote for the times that my sister is travelling, (November) so i guess it would be cheaper than August, she will be able to confirm or refute that though.
