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

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
