Latedeal auctions

Just won an Thomson holiday auction, a week in the Costa Del Sol, 3 star half board for £190 for two. Great way of getting a bargain if you can travel any time.

    was that the end price ? any extras on top of that?
    You do have to be careful with the auction sites not to go over what the holiday is worth if you were to book the normal way or DIY.
    We used to get some realy cheap ones of Mytravel auction site (sadly closed now)

    Yes that was the final price, i won the auction at £150, it was £20 each for tickets on top, did not want transfers or meals on flight, total cost £190. Already have insurance, they tried to sell me extras like pre booked seats and insurance, did not want them. This is the cheapest holiday i have ever paid for.
