    Can the following quote be beaten?

    The Quote itself: £4257
    Who the quote is from: Jet2holidays
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Jet2 Holidays
    The departure Airport/Post: Edinburgh
    The Holiday Dates: 20/02/25 – 03/03/25
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 3 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Enotel Lido, Funchal
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All inclusive
    Any specific requirements: 2 rooms (including one as single occupancy). If it makes any difference, we don't need the coach transfer (but it is currently included in quote above).

    Hi - Yes I can beat this - all identical - 2 rooms etc and all booked with Jet2holidays - my price £3997 saving you an extra £260 
    I can save you a bit more than that - over £300 - but i'll DM you re that

    Hi if93

    I cant beat that - I don't sell Ryanair (They don't like Travel Agents so make it hard for us) and I did have a look to see if I could do the hotel only cheaper but the Hyatt Members Rate is great - so I think you've found a great deal - but another agent may be able to do something and message you

    Hi 

    I can beat Jet2holidays prices but tbh as its such a cheap holiday anyway the saving would only be £10 so id completely understand if you book direct 

    Just for info for everyone - I can beat any TUI, Jet2holidays, or Easyjet Holidays price but if the total is less than about £700 then its probably not going to be worth the saving booking through me
