    Hi jerzees

    No I cant beat this - my best on those flights but with 15kg bags (Transfers included) is £2398
    I can do it on different flights that day with 22kg bags and transfers for £2358 but the times are 1620-2240 out and 2335-0205 back so i will understand if you stick with your flights

    Hi purcel

    I can beat this with TUI and do it for £3498

    But - I can do 11 nights so an extra night included from Stansted on 20/9 with luggage and transfers etc included for £3678 and with better flight times so that may be the better offer

    Hi HarryDavies01

    Obviously it will depend on your cancellation costs but I can do this very hotel for less so I CAN beat you price

    So with Birmingham flights on 2/9 - see times below, 22kg suitcases, 10kg cabin bags, without transfers (just use the ones you have booked) but with prebooked standard seats its £1200
    With Private Transfers and Prebooked seats its £1300
    Flight times
    Birmingham Fuerteventura FUE
    Depart: Wed 02 Sep 2020 at 15:35
    Arrive: Wed 02 Sep 2020 at 19:55

    Depart: Wed 09 Sep 2020 at 20:55
