    I still think you are looking at £3700 ish for 2 weeks all inclusive whether you book it DIY or as a package

    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:

    hi there ive looked about and the cheapest flights i can find are £510 each thats taxes included thats flying with virgin atlantic


    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:

    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.

    Cheers
