    Not really expecting that you can do anything with this quote with it being so cheap but thought I'd just check

    Jet2
    East Midlands to Lanzarote
    7 Nights
    CAYBEACH SUN in PLAYA BLANCA
    Self catering  in Classic 1 Bed Apartment 
    Friday 9th December to Friday 16th December 2022
    2 Adults (usual 22kg hold & 10kg hand)
    No meals or seats selected

    Thanks

    Hi Quora

    The Rain cheque does make it harder but I can save you an extra £28 on this one so my price will be £590 :)

    I'm not a travel agent, so forgive me if i shouldn't be replying - but just wanted to say if you join MyJet they will send you discount codes, which is currently £100 off all holidays until April 2024. They send out the codes every couple of weeks. 
    Can't be used with the rain check voucher i think, but still a £40 improvement.

    Good suggestion

    And Quora if you get a MyJet2 code I will still beat the direct price - £100 by £20 so £120 saving overall

    That's great - speak then  :) 
    The more the booking is for the more I'll be able to save you 
    Quoia's one was quite small so couldn't save him much but bigger bookings will hopefully be able to save you more

    Just to add, Matt’s quote for me was still a fraction cheaper than I could get with the Jet2 codes. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
