Woman pays just 2p for seven-night holiday in Crete – here is how she did it

A WOMAN has managed to bag a seven-night holiday to Crete including return flights with Jet2 for just 2p.

Lynn Marriott, from County Durham, made the bid as part of the new scheme launched by Jet2 – the Bid for a Break campaign, which lets Brits bid for holidays across Europe.

She told York Press: “I’m absolutely over the moon to have bought a holiday with Jet2holidays for just 2p.

“It was such a lovely surprise and I am looking forward to our break in the sunshine. I’d urge everyone to get involved and place their bid.

“It will feel fantastic being on holiday and knowing that I have paid just a couple of pence for it.”

To take part, customers need to do is visit Bid for a Break on the Jet2holidays website and decide on the price they want to pay and place a bid. 

If they are the only user to bid that amount and that amount is the lowest, they will buy the holiday for that price. 

There will be a new holiday available to bid on every week to places including the Balearics, Canary Islands, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Spain. 

Bids will open at 9am on a Monday and can be placed until midday on the Thursday, before the lowest unique bid is announced on the same day.

Those that are unsuccessful will receive a £100 discount code for their next holiday.

It isn’t the first bargain holiday to be offered in the Jet2 scheme.

Last month, Fionna Siddons, from West Yorkshire, bid just £1.60 for a seven night holiday to Santorini with Jet2.

Being the lowest bidder, that meant she got seven nights and return flights to Santorini, staying at a four-star hotel, for less than two quid.

She said she was “over the moon” knowing that she had a holiday for less than the price of a cup of coffee.
