  • Hi,

    I'm not necessarily looking for a better price but looking for better flights (I really want to avoid Ryanair if possible). Also, maybe somewhere closer to the beach and better kids club - but I know that is not necessarily possible. Here is what I have found:

    The Quote itself: £2673.22 
    Who the quote is from: On the Beach
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: OTB, Ryanair 
    The departure Airport/Port: Newcastle 
    The Holiday Dates: 28th July (ten nights) 
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults, 2 children (9 and 6)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Vista Oasis Bungalows
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive 
    Any specific requirements: Two hold bags (my quote includes this) 
    Is an in-flight meal included: no

    To make it easier, we are open to most resorts (not Turkey) so long as it is warm and there is a beach we can go to occasionally. Ideally would like a kids club and evening entertainment. The preference is a one bedroom apartment but not a deal breaker. My wife is not keen on Calas de Mallorca as we went there a decade ago, I'm sure she could be persuaded

    Hi bigkenny1975

    I haven't got anything as cheap as this 

    I mainly beat prices with Jet2holidays, TUI, and Easyjet holidays and they all want at least £500 more but if you do find one with any of them you like post details here and I'll see if I can beat it for you

    One of the other agents on here might be able to beat the one you have or find a similar deal

  • Thanks to @MATTR5 who has just saved me almost £200 on a holiday with Jet2! Highly recommend speaking to him to see if he can help you.

    Hi AC55

    Not a huge amount I can do on this one for you - I always struggle a bit with TUI when we have no promo codes - - I'd only be £70 cheaper on the total - all booked with TUI so like for like 

    My price £1699 x 2 = £3398 - £70 = £3328

    The Manchester departures are full up to the 13/5 and then they are a fair bit dearer up to the 17th when they are £50pp more
