- The Board (self catering/half board etc): AL
- Any specific requirements:
- Is an in-flight meal included:
I can book that for you with Jet2hols so all like for like for £144 less so £2639 total - You could also do 6 nts same dates - Direct price £3153 and I can save you £154 on that so £2999 for 6 nts all inclusive - and no booking fee or card charges on either option
I can't help you with a search - I just work by Discounting - but Jet2 have some good prices on Azure by Yelken in Turkey, Kipriotis Village in Kos (part of the same complex i think), Globales Binimar, Cala'n Forcat, Menorca so maybe have a look at those - again I'll be cheaper than booking direct
If you want to book either option come back to me by Monday lunchtime as their £50pp off sale is due to end Monday nt midnight (it could get extended but its a risk)I am a Travel AgentI’ve sent you a PMMy company’s ABTA/ATOL numbers are G9172/6053.
