The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
Holiday Destination : Majorca
The Holiday Dates: 7.40am 28th May - 4th June 12.12pm

The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Prinsotel La Dorada, Majorca

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

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
