Title: Holidays abroad help (websites) please Post by: redimp on January 28, 2007, 10:59:04 PM Pete and I would like to take our girls abroad again this year.
We got a cracking deal last year 2 weeks in Turkey all inclusive for £1.600 . I have looked all over the net and can not get even close to this price. If anyone knows any good websites I could look on I would be very grateful. (We would prefer to fly from Humberside,Doncaster or Leeds) Thanks in advance Shelly xx Title: Re: Holidays abroad help (websites) please Post by: KingPoker on January 28, 2007, 11:00:49 PM have u tried expedia. Can put together the holiday you want, and to be fair its usually cheap.

Title: Re: Holidays abroad help (websites) please Post by: Sheriff Fatman on January 29, 2007, 01:29:42 AM Expedia is normally the cheapest one for me, and is the easiest site to navigate around too IMO.
The other thing I do is check teletext.co.uk pages for any deals around there. Quite a lot of them have very limited websites though, so it usually requires a follow up phone call if you find something of interest. Title: Re: Holidays abroad help (websites) please Post by: KingPoker on January 29, 2007, 02:18:16 AM the only thing with teletext is to look out for hidden charges, Often the price does not nclude transfer fees and other services which can end up adding on a lot more than the price stated on the screen.

Title: Re: Holidays abroad help (websites) please Post by: redimp on January 29, 2007, 10:39:37 AM It will be a year ago in May TK
And yes you are right the explosions happened just after we got back. Title: Re: Holidays abroad help (websites) please Post by: soaper on January 29, 2007, 10:59:16 AM Not sure of the name of the website, google travelzoo some good deals
