Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

We were one of the casualties of the TC demise and we will get our refund eventually but we are left with flights down to Gatwick late on 29/10 and back to Glasgow 6pm on 10/11. 5 adults, 2 rooms looking for a bit of sunshine anytime between those dates. Budget is up to 2k. We are willing to look at anything you can come up with. I appreciate it is a bit of a long shot but if you don't ask you don't get. TIA

Ok... so here goes. Been away from MSE for a long time and wasn't sure if this thread still happened, but apparently it does.

he Quote itself: £1.5K
Who the quote is from: Online separates, flights, hotel etc
Is there a booking fee: No idea
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Virgin and any downtown NYC hotel
The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
The Holiday Dates: Feb or March 2020
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
Is an in-flight meal included: I think so.

So, I know that's all vague and that I need a quote, but I'm only looking... and to be honest I don't know what I'm looking for. I scared to book it all separately, so that's why I prefer a TA to help me.

I'm looking to lay some ghosts to rest, I want to go back to NYC, last time I was there (about 5 years ago) I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown and was contemplating ending my life. Im 100% better and need to go back. Its just me and my husband. We only want 3 or 4 nights, don't need a fancy hotel. But I'd prefer downtown NYC or/in and around tribeca, that general area more than times square, but if theyre cheaper, that's cool. I cant do January at all as I work in accountancy and its a busy time for us, Feb is my 50th so that would be great, or March. Can anyone help?

Hi Outrageous Monkey

You should really give a precise holiday to beat undr the rules for this thread but I can help wuith what you have supplied anyway

As an example we can do an ABTA/ATOL bonded complete package to eg Wyndham Garden Chinatown / SoHo which is in the area you want, 4*, gets great reviews etc - 3 nts flying directly from Manchester in Feb inc Suitcases is £1560 total - or the Sheraton Tribeca is also 4*, good reviews, right area etc and just £1580
nb These prices dont include Transfers as there are many options (flight is into Newark so closer than JFK)
