    The Quote itself: £986 (£328 pp)
    Who the quote is from: Expedia
    Is there a booking fee: Presumably about a tenner, haven't got that far yet.
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Monarch (there's Jet2 as an option too but with different flight times)
    The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    Holiday Destination : Majorca
    The Holiday Dates: 7.40am 28th May - 4th June 12.12pm
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults 1 child (aged 3)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Prinsotel La Dorada, Majorca
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Self Catering
    Any specific requirements: Not too fussed about departure date with 5 days of 28th May +/- but can't have a pre 7am or post 6pm flight in either direction. Would very much like transfers to hotel included
    Is an in-flight meal included: No

    This exact deal is floating about on most of the websites but i've checked so many, it's bogging my brain a bit.... some are around the £300 mark but iirc didn't have transfers inc.

    Just wondering if anyone in the business can find it cheaper, under £300 in my own little dream world would be lovely as i'm a bit brassic at the moment but absolutely desperate for a holiday for a few reasons! Much thanks :)
