    I'm looking for 4 flights to San Francisco (not fussy where from) on 28th July and coming back around 11th August. It's to link with a cruise. Flights I an find are around the £900 mark each. Can anyone do a better price?

    Hi, yeah sorry that was the price for both of us.

    the exact same Flight/holiday was actually on thomas cook's website for £1180 (got right through to the passenger details page)

    Which brings me to my next point...how Can a 3rd party agent beat a quote if the flight itself is operated by Thomas Cook? Very confusing!

    Thanks for your reply though, much appreciated!

    We can usually beat the Tour Ops by a bit - not by that much usually though - Did you actually get booked with them at that price? Ive checked Cooks website and its now £1314 for 2 so I hope so as it looks like the prices have gone up since you got your quote
