    * 09.05.10 “HOLIDAY NOW BOOKED” THANK YOU
    Hi, can anyone please 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 are looking for a August all inclusive holiday and have chosen the last week to achieve the cheapest quotes but earlier would not be a problem.

    Kind regards

    Hi
    hoping someone can help get the price down on a special holiday for next year.
    It's my big 50 so need luxury and sun!!!
    The holiday quoted is from Thomson. I know Thomas Cook do the same holiday but their baggage is less so I think Thomson looks the best deal for me.
    Any savings much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Liz
