'Beat My Quote'
Hi there,
Hope I've done this right. Ok - found a really good cancellation deal online for a holiday in Portugal for £116. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough (arrrgh). Really liked the hotel - it had good reviews and looked nice. Now the best deal I can find for it is this:
to Silves, Algarve, Portugal: Colina dos Mouros
from Gatwick
9th Aug</B> for 7 nights
accomodation bed & breakfast rating 3*
for only £290
Our budget (2 people) is £200 each. Can fly anytime from Aug 6th-12th. Any airport. Can anyone beat the current quote?
Cheers, Hooley.0 -
