    Hi

    I can't beat that for you as I only sell Virgin Voyages and Marella Cruises as we get good rates with them 
    There are three companies that usually have the best prices for Cruises - Readers OIffers Ltd (ROL), Cruise.co.uk, and Iglu so maybe try them

    Hi Kearnul - Thanks for replying to my DM for the extra details (7nts, child age, 2 rooms) 

    Unfortunately, I've had a look and I would be more expensive on this one (not a lot more but def more)

    I'm still Guaranteeing to beat TUI, Jet2holidays, and Easyjet Holidays' direct web prices for 2024 for their packages but TUI/Jet2 don't do it and Easyjet are dearer so I cant help on this one

    Hi, can anyone beat the following please  :)

    The Quote itself: £583.79 per person including airport/hotel transfer
    Who the quote is from: Broadway Travel
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Any
    The departure Airport & flight: EMA LS613
    NOTE: quote is to return to BHX, flight FR3246
    The Holiday Dates: 21st October, 7 nights
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults, 1 eight year old
    The Hotel: Caleta Dorada, Fuertaventura
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive

    Any specific requirements: No early morning flights (10am earliest), prefer EMA to BHX but had to compromise to get acceptable flight times (we're using public transport or getting lifts so no issue coming back to different airport).  Some flexibility on which Canary Island and hotel, we wanted the best AI we can afford, but could be interested in HB as long as it still an apartment with a kitchenette.

    Thanks in advance!
