    Hi Treecle

    I always guarantee to beat Jet2holidays website prices

    The price they are showing for this though is £2892 so not sure where the difference is

    Thank you for looking, good to know you are able to beat Jet2. It looks like the price of the holiday has just increased since I did the original quote.

    Hi Nicter

    The cheapest way to book this will be online with them and use the code BFCRUISE75
