holiday late deal help

Hi all, time to put the power of CF to proper use

I've been trawling the net now for ages but can't what I want, which is.....

Preferably



All inclusive, to anywhere hot, 2 adults 4 kids 10 - 15 years old, 7 nights, leaving.............................. this weekend , any North East airport, up to £300.00 pp

Now you would think that there were loads of holidays within those search criteria, wouldn't you

Any and all help, needed, and appreciated ................ GO TEAM CF

Re: holiday late deal help

hmm... I don't wanna help, I'll get even more depressed that Anton & I are not having a honeymoon

anyways would it not probably be better if you contacted a travel agent, as they can search through their systems and look directly at last minute cancellations and stuff?

if not, a quick search on the thomson website tells me that you are looking at a fair few quid for AI...

apart from trawling all the online tour ops and sites like expedia.co.uk, travelocity.co.uk and opodo.co.uk, i'd try the High Street. The market is absolutely dead at the moment, so you should be able to talk down some decent deals.

Whereever you see, always check tripadvisor.com first. I'd put my life on it. Very accurate and informative. Absolutely spot on when the missus and I went to Riu Cancun (already looked for you, 2 weeks is 600 quid eac. Sadly Thomson don't do 1 week, so hopefully through someone else you might even be able to go there for a week at 300 quid each That's from Manchester though.)

Surely there must be something out there............... que the X-files theme

Re: holiday late deal help

Just checked last minute.com and got no AI leaving within 7 days of 18th August for 2 adults / 4 kids and a budget max of £350.

Edit might have found something here.

Spain - Calas De Mallorca
Adults - £438 Kids - £194 Average £275 a head :-)

Ditto on that and others, might have to go for a self catering hol instead, thats gonna cost in the long run 4 kids wanting drinks and food all day, my slush fund and beer tokens will sharp run low

EDIT: your edit looks good reading it now

EDIT EDIT with all the charges etc it comes out just short of £3,000

Now I lurve Corfu, just had a quote from the travel agents at Tesco's for the 6 of us, all inclusive and what looks to be a private beach right out back of the hotel pool, £3,000 why is that looking like the magic figure

Does look nice though

Re: holiday late deal help

Boppy, I'm sat here in a mega Sunny Florida trying to find a cheapy holiday for you instead of sunbathing

however, try the Thomas Cook website, a week AI leaving from Newcastle on 20th to Turkey is #387 pounds, not sure who is under 12 so not exact on the price but if you get rid of the in-flight meals and extra luggage charge works out about #2200 and if they will take off the late deal charge thats another #90 off so could be #2100 approx (sorry no pound sign on this pc)
