I messaged Matt late yesterday afternoon to ask if he could better a 2026 Jet2 holiday price for me.

Within a short period of time he came back to me with £90 less for Jet2 like for like....

BUT he also mentioned that he found me the same holiday on Easyjet with a saving of a few hundred pounds IF I was prepared to change arrival airport. 

Same hotel, same room type, same half board. Better flight times (for me). 

I checked it out for myself online and he was spot on! 

Now fair enough new airport has a 2 hour transfer but for the serious savings involved it really is a no brainier! I could literally take a taxi/ private transfer both ways and still be quids in! 

Just b4 booking earlier today, he told me he had received a new discount code this morning and price had dropped by another £40!

Matt was 💯excellent to deal with and I would like to thank him once again and say I have no hesitation recommending him! 🙂

ccluedo - Looks like our Matt was a very busy boy yesterday afternoon 

I also private messaged him yesterday (at 16:25) with a quote for 2 weeks in Cape Verde leaving 27th June 2025
As always very helpful and knowledgeable - he had actually been to the islands in February.
We had a couple of TUI holiday choices - either leaving from Birmingham to Sal or potentially East Midlands to Boa Vista

Matt helped clarify some points regarding the difference in the 2 hotel's facilities we were unsure of and came back with cheaper quotes for both.

Did the maths, the relevant pros and cons and picked Sal -  another quick chat with Matt on the phone and booked it there and then - ultimately saving £114 overall - amounting to about a 5% discount.

Thanks for everything again Matthew - you're a star - that's got to be the 7th or 8th time we've booked with you.

Must admit it's a lot easier just giving you the basic details and it's done, as opposed to booking it online yourself - been there done that, sometimes a problem or a mistake and actually takes longer !

Cheers mate (hope I can call you that)

And when I return I will give you an update on the hotel in question, and specifically the food side of everything as discussed.

Best regards to you Matt
