  • Hi there, a newbie to all the forum, been following MSE for a while though.

    I was wondering if anyone could help beat the quote I've been given please.
    Its departing 5th October 09 @2010 from birmingham airport, arriving 0225 in dalaman
    Returning 17th October 09 @0325 from dalaman, arriving 0600 in birmingham.
    Flights are with thomson with 15kg of hold luggage each and no inflight meals.

    Staying 11 nights at the Mamaris Palace hotel (classed as a 4*) All inclusive for 2 adults. Transfers are included.

    We have been quoted £1110, which is inclusive of travel insurance for both of us. This is from Thomas Cook, the price has already been lowered from £1220.

    If anyone could help in perhaps lowering this price or do you believe its the best deal we would get, i would be really grateful. Also just if it helps we are able and willing to travel from other airports in the uk!!!

    Thank You in adance
