Hi Alex, not much choice from Scotland this year as far as I can see.  Best I can see is Tuesday 2nd June for around 280 each.  We're out on the 4th but the price for this seems to have gone up to over 500 each.

If i find anything else i'll give you a shout.

We are going first three weeks in August, cheapest flights I have found is GBP825 through travel republic from Manchester thats for three of us (2 addults and a 9 year old).  Others are just above the thousand mark including Thomas Cooke and Thomson
Hope this helps

Hello Everyone,

Guess I was lucky in booking very early. I booked last August through travel republic and an easyjet flight for 3 weeks starting 18th May. Cost   £123.

I have to travel from my nemesis though- Gatwick. Quite an expedition from here !.

That is indeed well done Alex. Is that for 2 people ?  Mine is just for one so maybe not as good a bargain as I thought. Still jolly satisfied with the price though.

That's what it's all about though , isn't it , so very well done. I think half the fun in the whole process is in the booking and finding jolly good value.
I am going to Tanzania on Monday night and as just staying in village rooms there and in Zanzibar was able to sidetrack lots of silly things like the dreaded 'single supplement'.
Looking forward very much (despite anti malaria meds) to the trip but as usual can't wait for May and Plakias. I hope Kerstin  will be in Plakias around 18th May,or will I miss them yet again ?.

Not been to NZ but would like to go some day. We recently met two couples who have been - one loved North Island but not South, and the other had the opposite feeling. I guess you never know whether a place is for you until you've visited.
