    Hi quoia

    Yes I can save you £40 on that so £770 - all like for like still booked with Jet12hols - If you've got a jet2hols discount code then I will be able to beat that too but I will need the code 

    And thank you Westin for the head up :) 

    I am a Travel Agent

    I’ve sent you a PM

    My company’s ABTA/ATOL numbers are G9172/6053. MSE doesn't check my status as a Travel Agent, so you need to take my word for it. You can check my ATOL with the CAA. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Travel Agent Code of Conduct.



    That's great news Matt - Glad to know you are still around on here
    Didn't really expect it could be beaten given how cheap and discounted it already is
    £40 will just about cover what I'd spend in duty free  B)
    I'll PM you to get contact details - email/phone - to confirm the booking

    Thanks once again Matt - don't know if you remember me (last time was quite a few years back) but this is at least the 3rd if not the 4th time I'll be booking with you after you've beaten a quote

    Cheers

    Would you credit it !
    I've had a cough, cold & sore throat (like swallowing razor blades) for 3 weeks - maybe getting on for 4.
    3 LFTs about a week apart ALL NEGATIVE

    OH had similar symptoms so took a test last Sunday and it was POSITIVE

    OH took another LFT today and it's NEGATIVE

    I've felt even worse for the last day or so - took LFT about 30 minutes ago and it's POSITIVE

    Both of us double jabbed & boosted, and I caught Covid twice in 2020
    (late Feb / early March and then again end of June - which left me with Long Covid for about 12 months - even referred to a Chronic Fatigue Clinic it was that bad)

    Glad it's happened now and not just before we hopefully go away
    Hope I don't feel like I do at the moment - not looking forward to the excruciating pain I experienced when coming into land back from Cuba in 1983 when I had just what appeared to be a mild head cold
    Not something I would ever like to repeat !

    Hi Devonian
    Just re-checked that link and realised its only 2 adults that you've searched not 2 adults One child 
    You might need to re-look at it

    Hi Ganga

    I can save you a bit more on that one as I can do Private Transfers with Holiday Taxis (The rest of the holiday would all still be booked via Jet2hols) so total saving will be £82 so my price £1129.29 :) - If you'd prefer to use Jet2hols Private Transfers then I can still save you £60 so £1151.29

    Looking for a package deal for the following:

    Preferably direct flight (one stop okay).

    Flight out of London (Gatwick preferred, Heathrow also okay) to San Juan, Puerto Rico on 24th August to arrive no later than 7pm local time.
    Return flight on 28th August preferably after 10am local time.

    Hotel - Courtyard Marriott - 7012 Boca de Cangrejos Avenue, Isla Verde, Carolina  00979 Puerto Rico (4 nights 24th-28th Aug)

    I can book separately, but wondering if there is a deal with the Marriott as it's pricey (I have no choice here as it's where everyone will be).
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".
