    Just booked our second holiday with Matt and echo everyone else that he’s just brilliant. 

    I found him on this thread via Google last year and he saved us £700 on a holiday. 

    We’ve just booked with him again, this time a Tui package and he’s saved us several hundred pounds and contacted Tui on our behalf to help with a room query. 

    Amazing communication and always answers as soon as he can. Lovely guy - thanks Matt!

    I contacted Matt about a week ago about a week's trip with Jet2 in August.  He very kindly (and quickly) offered me a saving of £200 and also made some suggestions which could have saved even more, as well as other handy hints.  So I'd just like to join in the general praise for Matt!

    Can travel agents beat airline prices too? 

    Looking at 2 adults 3 May 2026 LHR to NYC 11:30, return 10 May 18:00 (times approx happy to flex) Class: Premium with Virgin Atlantic or similar. Currently £1679.84 (VA) or £1499.84 (FlySharp)

    Happy to add in car hire too as we'll be needing that (airport pick up and drop off).
