    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson
    The departure Airport/Post: Glasgow

    Holiday Destination : San Antonio Bay, Ibiza
    The Holiday Dates: 20th Sept for 7 nights.
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Fiesta Palmyra

    he Board (self catering/half board etc): HB
    Is an in-flight meal included: No

    Prefer sea view room and interested in anything that's more Bay than San Antonio, from Glasgow (preferred) or Edinburgh, can travel up to 2 days later.

    Also if someone can confirm what Quidco pays for Thomson package holidays that would make an impact on the quote, too. The wording is really ambiguous.

    Many thanks.
