    Hi martnewts

    Nothing we can do on this im afraid as its a Thomson/First Choice excluusive and a late deal so cheapest way to book it will be on their website and do a Cashback claim - even their own shops charge more though I think

    Hi Yu_Gi_Yo

    Im nowhere near on this one - in fact im more than that for the rooms alone without the flights

    They must be giving you an amazing offer on it as well as its quite a lot more on their website - i'd bite their hand off before they withdraw it

  • Hello all. I'm new and don't travel often, so if I get this wrong do let me know. Multi-city journey is as follows

    London > Auckland (Departing 16th March)
    Auckland > Christchurch (Departing 27th March)
    Christchurch > Sydney (Departing 4th April)
    Sydney > London (Departing 10th April)

    I've been going through Skyscanner/Momondo/Kayak and the best I've currently got is £849 going through TravelUp. Only concern is the supposedly bad/dodgy stuff that comes after booking. Anyone reliable out there to beat it and not screw me over?

    Hi Rick

    I cant beat this as its flight only but I would check eg Flight Centre as they are a reputable UK company and their advertising says they will beat any price

    Hi,
    I've just had a quote for the Rui palace peninsula cancun for 22.9.17 7nights from Birmingham All inclusive for £874pp
    I am very flexible throughout September 17 and could fly from any Midlands or any London and ideally would prefer 10 nights but can't get any good prices would consider 14nights.
    We are ready to book. Look forward to hearing from you
    Thank you
    Denise

    Hi Denise

    Not sure if you have mistyped the price on this one but Thomsons/First Choices prices are all over £1000 per person for this hotel and I think they would normally be the cheapest way of booking it - nothing I can do on this one anyway sorry

    Hi declangerard

    Thanks for replying to my PM confirming 10 nts

    I cant do much on this but I can beat it

    Monarch like for like we will be £30 cheaper - bear in mind they dont include transfers - you add those on during the booking process but our price £2342 plus transfers - same deposit luggage etc

    If you can do Stansted Ive got a Jet2 flight on 11th August - the total for that one with 3 suitcases is £2296 plus transfers or if you travel light with 2 cases its £2246 plus transfers - deposit £60pp

    Transfers are about £8pp return if you want them
