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 Del, I've not received any PM.

Hi, just wanted to share my experience with you all.

I had spent days trawling the net and ringing high street travel agents without much sucess.

Thankfully I found the 'beat my quote' thread on MSE. I recieved PM's from Expressions Travel (thankyou Jamie) and Delwynholidays (Del). I decided to contact Del who provided me with several options. Del found me a great tailormade All Inclusive to Turkey saving me several hundred pounds :j.

I would highly recommend anyone to PM him and get a quote.

Thank you Del.

I'm looking for a holiday in September for my family with the following criteria:-

* Flights from Liverpool or Manchester only.
* Flexible on any dates early or late Spetember (whenever is cheapest really).
* Family friendly accomodation.
* Any destination with sun.

We are quite flexible as my wife is on maternity leave so we can book as early or late as required. I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me when is best to book or offer something suitable to book now.

Hope you can help. Sorry for being so vague but we really are open to all suggestions.

Thanks
