  • We´ve been searching and searching for a holiday departing 8th November from East Midlands or Birmingham Airport. Our first choice was Tenerife but we can´t seem to find anything decent for our budget and so have found this one in Lanzarote. Can anyone beat this quote for us or perhaps have something in Tenerife?

    The Quote itself:
    £1624 (Superior Room and Free Child Place)
    Who the quote is from: First Choice Holidays
    Is there a booking fee: Unsure
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: First Choice/Thomson Airways/Holiday Village Sun Tropical Lanzarote
    The departure Airport/Post: East Midlands
    The Holiday Dates: Departing 8 November, returning 19 November (11 Nights)
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults 1 Child aged 2
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Holiday Village Sun Village
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Half Board
    Any specific requirements: No
    Is an in-flight meal included: Yes
    Transfers Included: Yes
  • What bit dont you understand?

    I uderstand it perfectly... as it says " you must have the travel agents code of conduct signature if you want to reply to the thread"

    so to me that means if you dont have the code of conduct signature you shouldn't email if your a travel agent!!

    If I am reading the above statment wrong then please let me know where I am reading this wrong?

    Hello Again

    I am sorry i only read the info from martin on the main holiday section which says if you want to.

    Anyway lets all get on and make some money.

    You will find that most people post on MSE to help others find the best deal, and not with the motivation to make some money. You might find that this puts people off using your services.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Most people have forgot about service and the price is the key thats why people shop around if i can beat there price and earn some money then everyone is happy.

    If the person is not worried about price they would give the booking to the person who found it, having spent 15yrs finding the perfect holiday for customers for them to go somewhere else and book the same holiday i have spent 2hrs findning is just heart breaking however on here people have done there searching there ready to book and if i can beat it i will and there happy and i am more than happy to take less priofit as it takes me 10 minutes and not few hours.

    Hope this clears my thoughts up.

    It might if you used some punctuation! ;)

    I think we should end this conversation as this section is for people wanting to beat the holiday quotes not arguments between MSE members

    I was thinking the same thing.
    I never imagined this site would be so b*tchy.
    Lets just try and help each other :)
