I couldnt honestly say Lee sometimes they offer really good discounts, sometimes travel agents are cheaper and sometimes we are not its just one of those things, we are based on certain commisions with tour operators so we have some flexability on what we deduct from costs, but the difference here is very high to compete with

If you are happy with price, book it.
Prices can change all the time.
Tour operators continually assess supply and demand and may adjust discounts for the weekend on a Friday afternoon.
They could increase the discounts, they could reduce discounts, they could leave the same, or they could sell out.
