    Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomas Cook Flexible Trips
    The departure Airport/Post: Belfast International - Malaga
    The Holiday Dates: 6th August 2016 - 16th August 2016
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Royal Costa Hotel

    This holiday searching is harder than I thought. Not fussy on destination, just looking for a good deal leaving Belfast between 5th - 7th August for around 2 weeks. Ideally with breakfast. Could you recommend anywhere else to look other than Thomas cook? Can find cheap flights but hotels seem to be really expensive. Thanks!

    Hi Wish

    Hotels in Spain can ask pretty much what they want at the moment thats the problem

    I can beat either of those prices by 4.5%

    The other company woth checking is Jet2Holidays - I will be able to just beat their prices - not by much - but we will eg upgrade the transfers to private transfers instead

    Anyway once youve decid3ed the one you want give m,e a call but with Lowcostholidays going bust book sooner rather than later - 1000's of people are looking for new holidays to replace the ones theyve lost

    Hi Miss $

    Sorry cant beat that

    If, when you try to book it, they add extra costs on (they have been known to do this in the past) then PM me with final price and i may be able to beat that - I also have other hotels like the Hesperia or the Sandos around this price as an alternative
