I wonder if they intended to post on the beat my quote thread but it ended up here instead?

Indeed, crossed my mind as well.

Will merge this with the beat my quote thread as it is more relevant there and you will get more relevant replies as that is where travel agents can give you quotes.

Hi, please can you help beat this quote? We would like the Master Suite (on their own website) but I can only find superior junior suites with balcony on other sites:

• The Quote itself: £1293 total
• Who the quote is from: Last Minute
• Is there a booking fee: I don’t think so?
• The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Ryanair and Gold by Marina 
• The departure Airport/Post: Stansted to Gran Canaria unless you can find NWI to AMS to Gran Canaria. Happy to pay more but don’t want long connecting times to impact time there
• The Holiday Dates: Friday 22nd to Monday 25th August 2025
• The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
• The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Gold by Marina
• The Board (self catering/half board etc): Breakfast
• Any specific requirements: departing from Stansted 07:30 returning at 12:10. Need 10kg cabin bag per person. No hold
• Is an in-flight meal included: No

Hi Jemma 
I can’t help with this one sorry

Hi, I'm hoping to get the following for under £3k or very close at least if anyone can help.  My thinking is that the hold luggage and coach transfers are worth around £500 when added to a package on other sites, and we don't need either (but Jet2 won't let you remove them):

• The Quote itself: £3382 total   (including the best discount codes we can find currently)
• Who the quote is from: Jet2 Holidays
• Is there a booking fee: N/A
• The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Jet2, hotel is Invisa 
• The departure Airport/Post: Luton to Ibiza
• The Holiday Dates: Monday 25th to Monday 1st September 2025
• The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults, 1 nine year old
• The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Invisa Figueral Resort (there are two hotels - Cala Blanca and Cala Verde.  Cala Blanca is cheaper and we're happy with that one, though either is fine.  Jet2 allocate the hotel on arrival and are quoting for a Junior Suite)
• The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
• Any specific requirements: We're looking for a better price on a Junior Suite (the default standard premium room on other sites is over £800 less and currently we can't justify that price for the upgrade). Also we want the Jet2 flights which are 16:40 outbound and 13:40 inbound. Need the 10kg cabin bag per person but no hold luggage required.  We also don't need any transfers, we'll get a taxi.
• Is an in-flight meal included: No

Hi comdw

The best I can do on this is £3098 - that's just withoput the Transfers - You'd still get the 22kg cases ans they dont charghe for them so no point taking them off
