* 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.

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
