Gatwick Deals & Offers

If only this was called HSAD

Shouldn't this have been posted on HSAD? :/

That’s the wife’s Christmas present sorted (y) .... think I’ll give it to early this year though (:I

What about the other way?

The white farmer special.

This lady organises coach tours around SL, her name is Padmini, we went on two trips (below) with her, she organises everything for you including buffet meals at hotels and stops along the way, and she comes on the trips. Would highly recommend, but you need to book in advance, she may be able to arrange something for groups. Her clients are mostly Sri Lankans who have emigrated to the UK, US etc. You can get some ideas if you click on previous tours: THREE DAY TOUR TO PASIKUDAH, KALKUDAH, BATTICALOA FOUR DAY TOUR TO POLONNARUWA / TRINCOMALEE & THREE DAY TOUR TO TRINCOMALEE http://flamingolanka.com/

When are you planning to go. (Nov-Dec) monsoon seasons. the seas are rough and good for surfing. Tuk-tuk is a good way to cut through the traffic in colombo. Anuradhapura / Polonnaruwa (for ruins) If you are planning to go to Sigiriya (lion's rock) don't miss the piduranggala rock next to Sigiriya Minneriya National park is close by to Sigirya and plenty of wild elephants you aren't going to miss. Try the beaches around Unawatuna. If you are in the South East of SL. then Yala National Park is the one to go. it was closed while we were there but it's open now. I thinks it's also the season where the blue whales are around. Try Mirissa you've already got a good plan. when you are at alla go to Little Adam's Peak and on your way Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and don't miss the waterfalls :). make sure you take loads of memory cards.

Any recommendations? We were thinking of getting a tuk tuk for a week and travelling around a bit with possible safari. Doing the Ella to Kandy train or vice versa and maybe doing some snorkelling or diving if time permits.

Just came back from Sri Lanka. Listed as the #1 for 2019: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/best-in-travel/countries

Yes just apply for a visa online - pretty basic form, kids are free, adults - $35. They approve it pretty much straight away if not the next working day

Im still waiting for a reply,about the florida holiday

My children are 16 and 13 are they still classed as children for this deal

Manchester deals please Chanchi!

First time I went to Florida it was for 3 weeks and was amazing. You can do a complete Florida in 2 weeks with planning but it won't be a relaxing holiday, especially if you book at an off peak time The week after Thanksgiving is good for low crowds and is good if you can't take extreme heat, plus you get all the Christmas stuff 2 days Magic Kingdom 1 day Hollywood studios 2 days Epcot (my favourite park, could switch this day to AK) 1 day Animal Kingdom 3 days Universal + Islands of Adventure 1 day at a Waterpark of your choice 1 day Seaworld 1 day Busch Gardens. 1 day left over In terms of hotel vs villa. I've stayed at Southern Dunes and whilst the space and privacy is neat, it's half an hour of extra driving each way. Personally I'd rather go for a nice hotel where you're 10 minutes away from the parks.

But half hour closer to legoland and the Everglades lol

Sounds good to me if they change the name to Globales Apartmentos Minibar ....I'm in .... (y)

Can't seem to change the ages of the children from 13 and 8 to the ages my kids are

Sounds ideal to me!

Good deal, but we were there (very near this resort) last week, and it was very quiet, and a lot of the bars and shops were closing earlier in the evening, and some had closed already for the end of season.

Ilha da Queimada Grande

Name a country where a tourist has never been murdered.

I agree, went for a week arrived on Sunday night tried getting a flight out on Tuesday, hated every minute of it

What happened?

I’ve just come back from Tunisia felt very safe very visible police presence

Hold this up at the check in, works the other 2 times, the above fails!!! :p

opposite sex might explain a geezer quoting me 1800 AUD for an upgrade to business class :|

You have it on direct that is why its twice the price! (y)

Hmmm, I guess the big smile might be a bit hard for some at 4am (lipstick)

Cheers OLH (highfive)

I must just be a lucky one, flew with Norwegian before with no issues at all and got what I expected for the money I paid. Also, I fly with Ryanair about 20 times a year for work/holidays and have only ever had a minor issue that could have happened with any airline...

I used to think Ryanair was bad until i flew Norwegian this is one of those deals that you would be lucky to miss

Lucky are those who fly with Norwegian as they will learn the true meaning of patience frustration and customer customer service.

I'd rather go to Norway

It's not legal in the Netherlands. It is decriminalised there.

Gone with Norwegian to a few places and always being very good for what you pay, sorted a couple of problems out no bother.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you personally voted cold, I've just seen it happened far too much where people vote down based on a personal circumstances. IMO each person giving their own costs is not a fuller picture for anyone else other than them because they are so variable.

I voted it hot. Why do you assume because some people provide extended facts they voted it down? Should I preface "I vote this hot, it's an awesome deal however please also factor in [X,Y,Z]? Especially when the cost of entry is higher than the cost of the deal itself? I'm not suggesting people are stupid but what is wrong with having a fuller picture on costs?

? Who said im moaning? I am just laying out facts. Why are you so irked by this? What did I say that rattled your cage? By the way I upoted this deal because it is a hot deal.

Does anyone have an idea what month they usually have a sale. I'm looking to book for the end of April 2019 for six adults. The price is £546.40 per person at the moment Economy Class I don't know if this will rise so panicking whether to book or wait.

never though about a VA credit card but suppose as you say all adds up that was a great price for UC

We use our air miles to upgrade to PE or upper class. Using the credit card, Tesco club card points and virgins shopsaway site. It soon adds up! We Paif £400 for base ticket, then used air miles and paid £120 for premium. Best ever was using my air miles for upper class to get a return fare for £480!!! Just beaware as when you upgrade with air miles you only get the original cabins air miles for the flight. Not sure the points on the uograde bid system as never used it :)

At least we are going! Something to be glad about :)

been tempted to go norwegian but prefer scheduled, wanting to book virgin as have free tickets into clubhouse, which is where luxury ends for me, but looking for a good deal with PE with virgin as there seat width is very generous

Stay in Malcesine and you can get the ferries from there to other parts. The lake is a lot larger than you think. Plenty to do from there.

Lake Garda is not expensive to eat out. I've stayed in Malcesine and lunchtime is cheaper than dinner. Wine is very very cheap if you buy some in the local shops , supermarkets. We had a fabulous time.

Just noticed the price has gone up £318 now( probably weekend demand). That said sometimes as they fill more seats on the plane the price increases.

We ate at The Green Frog and a couple of the restaurants either side. Maybe when im comparing prices im comparing them with Spain and Zante which i felt was about 30% cheaper. I did enjoy the Hugo Spritzer not so keen on Aperol Spritzer.

op where did you eat i found it really cheap i ate in most places

Yeah I went to Naples, Amalfi, Pompeii, Herculaneum. Amalfi smelt like petrol fumes 24/7 I ended up vomiting on the side of the road lol.

you snooze, you lose. These will be gone soon.

ill be checking this out later Thanks

Dont forget, only 5kg cabin bag with TUI !

Typical no flights from Scotland
