Hi Both,

Don't forget that 'Prudence' the chancellor has put in a smash and grab raid that immediately adds a minimum of £20 extra APT to a long haul flight (and allow a little for inflation).

We havent had much of a chance to do a lot of research yet, but we checked with Thomsons and 2 weeks at the Marinha Dourada for last week Nov/first week Dec is £714 per person, way too expensive :twisted:
Will need to do a bit more checking as that is just OTT!!!

You'll probably find the same holiday cheaper with Portland Direct or Thomas Cook.

We are just back on Monday and travelled with Thomas Cook. Ive had a quick look on the Portland website. Its giving a price for the MD for 14 nights on 1 December from Birmingham (about a week later than we planned travelling) and it works out at £610 pp, a little better, thanks, we will keep checking :D

:( Flights are much more expensive this year - I've booked for 8 Dec for 3 weeks and it went up £125 in the few days I was waiting for the ok from work.

We booked our flights with MyTravel in January and I've been keeping my eye on the cost of the holidays just to see what happens. 2 weeks with MyTravel in dormhouse works out at about £150 more now for the same dates as it did in January!

Just checked the Thomson flights from Birmingham that we were looking at in January and the exact same flight with the same options is over £150 more too.

Looks like we're gonna book an ordinary package hol with FC and do our own apartments when we get there. It's the worst place ever for flight only especially if you live in the north of England.

Does anyone know if Thomas Cook have withdrawn Marinha Dourada from their brochure for 2007/2008. Ive checked various dates and its not coming up at all. Thomson holidays are very expensive for MD for next season.
