    Hi Davidwood

    Yes we can beat these

    Thomas Cook first - if you go into it you will see they are charging £50 for Transfers (even though front screen says tbhey are included) - so total with them is £1380
    My price would be £1300

    Jet2 the Transfers are definitely included so price ok but we can beat this by £20 so we are £1496
