Cost of Honeymoon to Cuba for 2:£1700

2 x Upgrade too Premier Cabin £400

2 x Seat Reservation £50

2 x priority Booking £50

Total of add ons = £500

That is almost a third of the price of the main holiday again. They say there is no profit in holidays....no, it is in the bl00dy extras :evil:

(sorry, had to get that off my chest!!!!)

You didnt have to pay the extras, or go to Cuba, or get married, but you chose to. It better be a fantastic trip at that price!

I have never paid more than £80 for a return flight to Europe.

My best deal was to southern Italy for £113 return, by the way that price was for the three of us :shock:

I was only making a point on how to make money when people will pay for it.

How many people on this forum moan/comment on the price of beer, etc etc. Dont buy it. Simple.

I was only making a lighhearted point. Obviously you are all experts and can only be as lighthearted as a slap in the face with a hammer.

I am off to go and have aa serious conversation with someone. Next time anyone on here complains/comments on price I will use Ian's oh so lighthearted comment
