Ive struggled this one as TUI are giving you a £100 discount on MyTui that they are not giving agenmts
I could beat it by £20 so me £2028 but i accept thats a bit of a rubbish saving
They dont do this a lot but when they do its very very hard for us to matchI am a Travel AgentI’ve sent you a PMMy company’s ABTA/ATOL numbers are G9172/6053.

I just got back from my holiday which i booked with MATTR5 and i just wanted to say it was really easy to book with him, everything worked the way he explained it and there were no hitches at all. I would fully recommend based on my experience.So glad i was able to save you money even with that offer

I posted here last week asking if anyone could beat a quote. Got a reply and a PM from @MATTR5 who said he could beat the price. My wife called him on Friday and he actually beat the price by a little bit more than he'd said.
Lovely guy, helpful and professional and obviously knows his stuff.
Really grateful for your help Matt and we're looking forward to our holiday in August...

Hi Matt, I have sent you a PM - I hope you dont
Mind.Thanks0 -
I would just like to thank Matt and share on here my experience with him.I come across this post Thursday and was a little unsure of what to do at 1st but decided to send Matt a PM yesterday.Despite being off this weekend, he replied very quickly and beat the best price I could find for both like for like holidays I had sent him.
He answered any queries I had and put me at ease.
Less than 24hours later I am all booked, having saved a fair amount and now cannot wait for my holiday.So Matt, thanks again and I will most definitely be in contact again soon.3
