    A massive thanks to Mattr5 who saved me £200 on a holiday to Mexico! This despite already being offered a big discount from Thomas Cook and despite being identical to what TC were offering.

    Highly recommend!!

    You might want to check if baggage is included. I suspect LoveHolidays have used the Virgin Light hand baggage only fare.
  • Thanks Westin.
    This is what's included for luggage according to the extras tab on their website:
    Luggage Included free
    1x carry-on luggage per person included FREE. Maximum weight: 6kg
    4x 23kg Hold luggage for the group included FREE.
    Will check their small print.
