Just to update everyone - with what was already an amazing, discounted deal, Matt was able to save me even more money on our holiday to Orlando. It might only have been £27, but it's still money saving.
Better still, Matt was a huge help when booking with him - knowledgeable, friendly and really engaging. He was very easy to talk to, answering any and all questions I had and providing plenty of useful advice along the way.
He's a partner with the CO-OP travel agents, so fully approved and trustworthy. Honestly, I'm so glad I booked with a real person, and saved money too - highly recommended.0 -

***NOW BOOKED****
Hi there!
Hope someone will be able to bag me a bargain :-)
I am looking to travel on or after 18/09/17 returning by 01/10/17, within those dates I am entirely flexible and there is some leeway to return a bit later if the deal is good.
I am looking for a holiday for two, in a double room. The best deals I have found are flying from Manchester but Birmingham, East Mids, Doncaster or Leeds would also be fine. Luton at a push.
I want to stay for 7 days in Sicily (though if there is a good deal for a longer break I would consider that too) I would prefer all inclusive but would reconsider for a bargain. I am looking at a resort near Taormina (Taormina/naxos/letojanni) as this is convenient for the sightseeing we are planning.
The best deal I have found so far is on Holiday Hypermarket, for a first choice holiday, staying at Atahotel Naxos Beach Resort for 7 nights all inclusive at £682pp departing on 24/09/17 from Manchester.
I think that is all of the information, hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!0 -
Hi Tomo
Thats a Thomson exclusive hotel and the Quidco 2.5% (though they say 1.5% on their site) - either way that knocks me out
