    Hi Mivvit

    I can definitely beat this one

    If we do it like for like all with Jet2hols so same reps/transfers/room etc etc then my price is £3660 saving you £100 (plus room supp if you do the Ground floor room obviously - but either way £100 less like for like)

    There are a couple of optional things I can do to save you up to another £100 that I will explain when you call

  • I have been quoted 1547.18 (all in for 2 adults) from Thomson's website.

    Depart: East midlands 3rd April 2018
    Return: East midlands 10th April 2018
    Fly to Majorca and then cruise on the thomson spirit for 7 days - Mediterranean medley
    Includes: flights, transfers and all inclusive food and drinks package.

    Could fly from doncaster sheffield/leeds bradford/manchester if its any cheaper.

    This is a late honeymoon for me and my new husband :) we have never been abroad together so any savings would be amazing! Thanks for your time!

    Hi whiterose11

    We always struggle to beat Thomsons webprices as they include a discount already - my price on this would be £1531 so only saving you £16

    It could be worth checkinG Cashback sites to see if they give you more

  • Just wanted to say that although I have now booked and not with Matt he was very competitive, I only got about a fiver cheaper than his best quote for the hotel I wanted. Had I been less fussy about location (we have a lots of sight seeing planned rather than just relaxing on a beach) then he would have been cheapest.


    Next time I might save myself a few hours on google and go to Matt sooner!

  • The Quote itself: £747
    Who the quote is from: Expedia
    The Holiday Dates: 29th March - 4th April
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The departure Airport: Manchester
    The Hotel: Hotel St James
    Any specific requirements: We want to be between Times Square and Central Park

    We don't really care who we fly with or if in flight meals are included etc we just wanna go to NYC for as cheap as possible, and stay walking distance from the Rockefeller Plaza.

    For the right price I don't mind a non-direct flight (preferably from Dublin as we can go through pre-clearance) but would prefer not to if possible. Again, for the right price I would travel from another airport but I would prefer not to. £20 cheaper won't make up for it but £100 will.

    Hi Chickabiddy

    I can't do anything on this - I'm better at beach stuff than cities tbh - hopefully another agent see's it and can help
