    Hi guys!

    Is anyone able to beat this one...?

    The Quote itself: £673.98
    Who the quote is from: lowcostholidays.com
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Flights with Easyjet
    The departure Airport/Post: Liverpool
    The Holiday Dates: 21/03/11 - 28/03/11
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Aloe Club Resort, Fuerteventura
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All inclusive
    Any specific requirements:
    Is an in-flight meal included: No, but price does includes 1 piece of checked baggage.

    Also, assuming it tracks, I can get 3.03% cashback on the above = a further £20.42 off the price which would take it down to £653.56.
