    HOLIDAY NOW BOOKED

    Couldnt get my price beaten - but I knew it was exceptional.

    Have an exceptional quote from BMI for £329.01 from a diamond club offer but need 10 nights and they only fly once per week.

    Don't mind paying a bit more but need 10 nights.

    Quote is from Manchester on 17th August.
    2 adults one child and one infant
    we are flexible on dates can go up to a week later and would also prefer London but again we are flexible.

    would also consider holiday package

    I think this is a big ask so would be grateful for any help.

    I have 2 quotes from Thomson on-line and am deciding between the 2 hotels but can you beat the quotes on either? I know I can get the holidays slightly cheaper with flights 3 am to 5 am but I would prefer to avoid these unless they work out really cheap.
