    Hi I can beat this by just over £150 for you so my price £3527
    all like-for-like
    nb I think it's a Deck 4/5 Outside cabin which is better than inside so ive included that in the cost but we can check details when we chat

  • Hi, wondering if anyone can help with the below please:

    The Quote itself: £2,259pp
    Who the quote is from: Holiday Hypermarket 
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Tui 
    The departure Airport/Post: Bristol 
    The Holiday Dates: 18 July 10 nights
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Sensatori Akra Fethiye
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All inclusive 
    Any specific requirements:
    Is an in-flight meal included: no chance!

    We're pretty flexible on dates, could travel from 15th July. Will not book with Easyjet flights following a disaster this year, so Tui flights only please.

    We actually need 3 of these rooms if that helps with discount :)

  • Thanks @MATTR5 for the great deal you got for me, saving about 6% on my best price. Yes I could have got Quidco cashback, but why wait months with no guarantees and then have it rejected when you can get more as an instant discount.

    Thanks again.
