    Hi rev_henry

    There are no flights available the week after so this is the best date

    Theyve given you 6% discount off agent price so id say thats fair - We would be the same price

    Hi clairebear01

    Thats the cheapest deal that date - get it booked

    We webmatch Monarch but thats it so you unless you collect the Co-op points you would only save about £1 each booking with us - ive noticed their price is creeping up tho - this morning its £1472 plus transfers so whatever you do get booked quick
