Hi Kate
The direct price with Jet2holidays is £5898 so I couldn't get it down to £5489 with them = id be £5589
Easyjet Holidays have it for £5562 and I can do that for £5419 saving you £70 on your price
So basically if its with Easyjet the yes I can beat your priceI am a Travel AgentI’ve sent you a PMMy company’s ABTA/ATOL numbers are G9172/6053.
