    I would double check this on the thomas cook site again as the total cost for the holiday listed below comes out at 1017.27 on both Birmingham and Bristol

  • Hi guys,
    Hope you are all well.
    I am looking to book a holiday with the kids for their 1st trip abroad to Ayia Napa next summer and was wondering if anybody could beat my quotes :)
    We want to stay in 1 of 2 hotels so have put both quotes below (hope that's ok).

    The Quote itself: £2855.24
    Who the quote is from: Beach Collection (.co.uk)
    Is there a booking fee: Dont know
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Doesnt say which operator or airline. Nestor Hotel
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates: 25/08/10 - 31/08/10
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 3 adults + 17, 14, 12, 11 + 7
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Nestor Hotel, Ayia Napa
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Bed n Breakfast
    Any specific requirements:
    Is an in-flight meal included: Don't know.
    Rather annoyingly, this website doesn't really tell you what IS and ISN'T included. I guess that's why it's the cheapest i've found maybe.

    The Quote itself: £4366.32
    Who the quote is from: Beach Collection (.co.uk)
    Is there a booking fee: Dont know
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Doesnt say which operator or airline. Atlantica Sungarden Beach Hotel.
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates: 25/08/10 - 31/08/10
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 3 adults + 17, 14, 12, 11 + 7
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Atlantica Sungarden Beach Hotel, Ayia Napa
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
    Any specific requirements:
    Is an in-flight meal included: Don't know.

    Hope i've done all that right lol.
    Many thanks in advance :)
  • I managed to beat it so just because your system is priced higher doesnt mean the price couldnt be beaten.


    Pardon me if I am wrong - but I thought this was a travel agents thread?? And the main point of this thread was so that Travel Agents could beat the quotes - If so are you or are you not a travel agent Sloppy Chops? Because if so you need ur ABTA code of conduct on your signature.. if not then why are you on here as there are other travel threads for people who need advice and help..?

    I don't mean to be rude but some of us travel agents are on here as we work only on commission - we're not here to rip anybody off just to earn extra cash to keep us from the dole.... help us support our selves by letting us do the the quotes and you and others wont have to support us on the dole :D

    Sloppychops is not a Travel Agent and I think it is very rude to question their prescence in this thread when they are probably the most helpful poster here.
  • actually it says if you are an agent you need it on there.
