    Hello

    Can you only post here if your looking to book your holiday.

    I have spent lots of time on people quotes and beat them by sometimes hundreds of pounds

    It takes time to search through and keeps me from answering calls at work, im always happy to help but if you have no intentions of booking wait until you are

    Dont get me wrong a few people have booked but I have had some people just not bothering to answer

    Thanks

    Hi Del, appreciate that you are taking up time to look into these on our behalf but it would be useful if you could reply when you say you will, even if it is just to say that you can't beat it. For example you said that you would get back to everyone, myself included, by 8pm on 20th and from what I can see you didnt post any replies at all.

    As it turns out we were ready to book a holiday and gave you an opportunity to beat a quote that we had from Thomson. As we did not hear back from you we made a booking. I accept that you might not have been able to beat our quote but perhaps you could PM people to say that you can't beat their quotes, then this saves us all time checking back on this page? Just a friendly suggestion.

    Cheers
    Rob
