Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

Hi

Thought i would post this to see if anyone can better it.

It seems this year prices are crazy with Thomas Cook gone so Jet 2 and TUI have less competition.

A similar holiday the last 2 years both with TC cost us 3.5K!
It also appears we have to pay a premium for flying from Belfast but what can we do!

Jupiter Albufeira Hotel
2 Adults, 3 Children (Ages 12, 9 & 7) for 7 nights from Sun 12 Jul 2020

Return flights Belfast
(5) 10kg hand luggage
(5) 22kg baggage

All Inclusive
(1) One Bedroom suite
Coach transfers
ATOL Protected
£5225

Hi barryheffron

I CAN beat this like for like and get it under £5000 for you saving you over
£225 - I can also throw in a nice freebie which I'll tell you about when you book

I can't get it back to T Cook prices but for the last year at least we suspect they were selling at a loss to get cash in

I've sent you a PM - Its the last 1 bedroom suite left

Hi ionap
I CAN beat this like for like by a little over £100 
Disney hasn't released Free Dining for 2021 yet - we don't know what hotels/rooms will be included - also dates as your date 23/9 wasn't included in this years offer (Dates were - Valid for arrivals most nights 6/27/20 – 6/28/20, 7/5/20 – 7/7/20 and 8/29/20 – 9/8/20)- with the launch of Star Wars its getting tighter and tighter 
If its a benefit you really want then you need to wait until its released and then if it suits book the best deal ASAP

We also have a further booking for 2 adults for the same 2 weeks and 2 adults, 2 children to join us on the 2nd week (from 15th) but it's too much to price up everyone everytime we look so are looking for the best deal for just us to start. Hope you can help!

We would prefer rooms with balcony. The price above only include one of the rooms with a balcony, the other one doesn't seem to have one.
Can you do it for cheaper please?

MATTR5

Hi purcel

I CAN beat this definitely - I can do it for £2387 like for like all booked with TUI 
I can see there is only 1 room with Balcony left so you'd need to upgrade the other room to TWIN ROOM WITH LIMITED SEA VIEW AND BALCONY at same price as online +£63.70 (+£3.19pppn)
The Half Board plus seems to be only for certain dates -  If you're staying during any of the following dates, you'll have an upgrade to Half Board Plus for those days. This means you'll get self-served local beer, wine and soft drinks included with dinner:

15th September 2018 to 3rd October 2018, 1st May 2019 to 29th May 2019 and 16th September 2019 to 8th October 2019.
So i dont know if they haven't updated with this years dates but ???? i dont think you'll get it as it stands

Just booked my holiday with Matt after posting on here yesterday. Have spent a lot of time looking for our holiday (and also have spoken to different travel agents) and he has managed to beat them all by offering a £300 discount for our group, which no one else has come close to. 
Thanks Matt & thank you money saving expert!

Booked our holiday with Matt as well today. Great, friendly service and has been cheaper that the online advertised price with Tui. Thank you
