Just a wee note to say that I booked our holiday with Matt today. He is a genuine friendly guy, saved me money and actually took a lot of the hassle out of booking the holiday.
Thanks again Matt :-)0 -

Norwich to Tenerife - January 7th
The Quote itself: £2180
Who the quote is from: Thomson
Is there a booking fee: No
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson/Thomson
The departure Airport/Post: Norwich
The Holiday Dates: 7th January 2018
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 3 Adults + 1 Age 16.
The Hotel: Be Live Experience Playa la Arena
The Board: All Inclusive
Any specific requirements: No
Is an in-flight meal included: No
Holiday duration is 7 days.
We can Fly on 4th Jan if cheaper.
Looking at prices from other airports, Thomson include - Twin Room with Limited Sea View and Balcony. For some reason flying from Norwich Thomson include Twin Room with Balcony, which i guess is facing the mountains.
Would prefer Sea/Pool View.
£2180 Price is for 3 adults + 1 x age 16 but there's a good chance another 2 adults will be going if you can also quote on 5 adults 1 age 16 - 3 rooms.
Many thanks for your time.0 -
Hi Rookey
We can only save you £10 per person on this so £60 if you all go
You'll probably be able to do better with Cashback sites - the usual "Its hard to beat Thomsons" im afraid
just as a tip - You can upgrade the rooms during the booking process on the Norwich 7th jan flight - on the 4th they are already included as no standard rooms left
