    Hi blinkered

    I haven't got any better codes but I can still trim a bit off that

    So, assuming the £70 code works i can get another £40 off tht so my price £1200

    Just a quick post to thank Matt for his email today with reassurance that our holiday departing next Monday is unlikely to be affected by recent events, and additional helpline details should the worst happen.

    Most kind and professional

    Again he came through with a last minute BEAT MY QUOTE deal despite our JET2 quote being relatively cheap already and I had a significant personal discount code at my disposal - not exactly a huge amount but worth more than half of my parking costs at Birmingham airport. NOT to be sneezed at !

    Enjoy your break Matthew

    Hi Matt,

    Crystal ball time. What are your thoughts on our upcoming holiday to Cyprus in Aug? If there are fuel shortages, what could Tui do? Charge more? Move our dates? We have insurance in place already so I probably need to speak to them too

    The same holiday now is over £7k!

    Thanks

    Hi

    Please could eyou email me re questions like this as this Forum is just for quotes

    But TUI have guaranteed no surcharges, have hedged their fuel, and if your flight doesnt gpo you gte a full refund for the whole package - thats the advantage of booking packages like the ones i sell
