  • Hi there,

    I wonder if anyone can beat this quote we've had today from Travel Republic online. Thomas Cook and Jet2 are coming in more expensive and booking flights and hotel separately don't seem to be coming out any cheaper than this but as I haven't heard of the website before I'm just cautious.

    The Quote itself: £840
    Who the quote is from: Travel Republic
    2 adults
    The Holiday Dates: 22nd June - 28th June 2014
    The Airline: Ryanair Manchester to Faro, including 1 20kg bag @ £35 each way, no insurance, all taxes included, paying by debit card. 10:40am departure from Manchester, 3:45pm departure from Faro
    The Hotel: Tivoli Lagos Hotel, 1 double room with balcony/veranda
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): B&B
    Including bus transfer from Faro to Lagos

    Is there anything we would need to be aware of if using Travel Republic over Thomas Cook (in terms of our rights if they change our travel arrangements etc).

    Many thanks for any help or suggestions!

    How about no longer being masochistic?
    How about remembering your divinity?
    How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
    How about not equating death with stopping?
