    Hi Matt,

    Sorry, which one is the PM button?

    Kind Regards,

    Hiya, heres what to do to quote someone

    In the thread you do a reply worded like this

    I am a Travel Agent
    Ive sent you a PM
    My company’s ABTA/ATOL numbers are xxxxxxxxx MSE doesn't check my status as a Travel Agent, so you need to take my word for it. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Travel Agent Code of Conduct.

    Then if you look at their post - click on their username and a list of options come up and one of these is "send Private message" so click on that and then send quote

    Therte are full instructions at top of this thread but thats the basics

    Ive done a nice booking off this Forum today but its good to have a bit of competition and a few of us quoting - then everyone gets a good deal hopefully - so good luck and happy quoting x

    Hi

    I'm looking for a holiday at the end of August. I'm trying to keep costs down and have this quote;

    £1073 including transfers

    Who the quote is from: Airtours (Thomas Cook)
    Is there a booking fee: (n/a)
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Broncemar Beach - Fuerteventura
    The departure Airport/Post:Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates:28th August for 2 weeks
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages):2 adults, 1 child aged 2
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival):3*
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): SC
    Any specific requirements: Child/Family friendly
    Is an in-flight meal included: No


    I will also add that although I want the Canaries, I'm open to the Island. I need the option to be able to upgrade to AI once there (which we can with this hotel) and a holiday rep so it needs to be a package. Also, the Midlands airports would be more convienient, but I am willing to tarvel from Gatwick or Manchester.

    Thanks!!
