Direct Holidays help

Hi!

I've seen a deal I like on the DirectHolidays website but just before I book, does anyone know any way of getting the prices down any more than what comes up on the site? Or any other ways of getting a better deal?

Thanks a lot in advance

    I don't think you'll get much better deals than direct hols, not unless you book last minute and that might be allocation on arrival accomodation:confused::confused:

    You can remove the meals and transfers(if you dont need these) on their website,no need to go into shop.

    If you give details of the holiday you have seen with Direct Holidays i will try to get the price down by doing it DIY.
    No guarentees but i will try my best.

    What I usually do is pick my holiday then price it with every company online then phone round & tell them all the best price you have & they usually try to beat it, the co-op seem to do this for us every time, I saved £600 last time.
    If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in :D
  • Matt - If you book on-line but through Quidco.com (cashback site) you can get 3% back for package holidays with direct holidays

    Sloppychops - sorry to hijack your kind offer to Matt, but I wonder if you can attempt to beat a price I've been quoted with direct holidays.

    11-18 Sept. LGW to LUX with monarch.

    2 people7 Nights B&B in the Movenpick Jolie Ville, Luxor

    £296 each including transfers, fuel & inflight meals (pre booked seats extra)
    Would consider departing on 8,9,10,11 or 12 Sept from any London airport.Thanks
