* 09.05.10 “HOLIDAY NOW BOOKED” THANK YOU
Hi, can anyone help I have found the same holiday on both the Thomson and Portland Direct websites (quotes below).
Can anyone beat these quotes, offer a cheaper similar grade alternative or offer any guidance of how to achieve a cheaper price or upgrades/ incentives would be appreciated.
We can fly from East Midlands, Birmingham, Doncaster or Manchester.
We require school holiday dates and have chosen the last week to achieve the cheapest quotes but earlier would not be a problem.

Taking the kids away for our 1st family holiday this summer and REALLY need some help please!!
Looking to book by next weekend.
Would prefer to stay at the Anesis but would consider the Nestor in Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
Need to be back in the UK at a reasonable time on the 1st September as kids have school the next day.
We would also prefer just Bed and Breakfast and the cheapest quote for that was with beachcollection for 4048 (506 per person).
Can anyone please help?- The quote itself: 4350
