    Hi Lynne

    No sorry - I always struggle with TUI NHS as you get £100 off i think it is - if the holiday is above about £3000 there's enough in it for me to beat even that but i cant at this price level
    I'd literally be the same price £1768 so you may as well book direct
    Have a goodun

    Hi - sorry about the wait
    I can do the holiday above booked with TUI so like-for-like for £2664 saving you £100 
    PLUS - I don't know if you can do this but they have an 11nt duration going 1/5/25 and its cheaper - direct price £2654 and my price on that one £80 less so £2574 my price

    Hi Joe
    Ive had a quick look and the onthebeach price doesn't seem to include suitcases or transfers so add those on 
    I can see they are late flights both ways - even with just one suitcase between you and transfers its £2351

    My best offer is Manchester on 18/8 - early flights both ways (Easyjet) inc 23kg suitcases x 3 and Transfers - total cost £2297 

    If you want an early flight out late flight back id have to push you to Liverpool - again Easyjet with 3 x 23kg bags and Transfers for £2497
    I am in until 5 pm today and in tomorrow from 3-6 pm - normal hours Monday
