Just reading through some of this thread and wondering if the savings are meaningful or if it's just a couple of quid so the agents on here get the booking without doing much work.

Hi
I'm replying as one of the agents who quotes on here
It varies by booking - sometimes we can beat prices by only a few pounds but recently i saved a lady over £300
We also sometimes give free added extras where we can

re whether we get the bookings for not a lot of work there is some truth in that - but bear in mind we do a lot of checking for people who never come back on the site to check their messages - eg the Cancun quote above i can save them over £200 but she has never even replied - so we do a lot of quotes and only get some replies - it evens out over all

Basically its as Martin says - part of the shopping around process - if you see the guide to this Forum on Page 1 Martin suggests shopping around, haggling, but FINALLY giving the Travel Agent who quoted you in the first place the chance the beat the best price you have. I think thats a fair system

It costs you nothing to try us

Hello

That price is very good for the 4 of you for two weeks

Your eldest child would be classed as an adult

You seem to have found a pretty good deal already

Thanks
