A teacher is jetting off on holiday for the price of a chippy tea for two with Jet2holidays.
Jerry Lucas, a primary school teacher from Nottingham, successfully 'Bid for a Break' with Jet2holidays to secure a seven-night all-inclusive holiday to Greece for just £20.70. She bagged the holiday following the return of the UK's largest tour operator's popular campaign.
Bid for a Break gives holidaymakers the chance to pay as little as just a few pence for a new getaway every other month until March 2026. Following the relaunch in May, five more holidays are being given away in July, September, November, January and March.
After Jerry placed her bid of £20.70, she was told she had entered the lowest unique bid and purchased the seven-night all-inclusive Jet2holiday for two adults and two children to the Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort in Halkidiki, Greece, for that same price.
Jerry said: 'I never expected to win and am already getting excited to take my husband away to celebrate a special birthday! I've always thought my winning bid was a lucky amount. Each time I've entered in the past, I've bid the same amount, so I'm over the moon to have finally won and to be jetting off to Greece.'
All holidaymakers need to do to enter is download the Jet2 mobile app, submit their bid to the nearest pence and cross their fingers. If their amount is the lowest and no one else has bid that exact same amount, they will purchase the holiday for that same price.
Bidding for the next holiday will open at 10am on 14 July, giving holidaymakers plenty of opportunity to place their bids until 10am on 21 July.
Steve Heapy, CEO of and Jet2holidays, said: 'Since its launch, our Bid for a Break campaign has been phenomenally popular with holidaymakers, so we are delighted to see it make its highly anticipated comeback. We're always looking at ways to give our customers more, so that is why we have brought back everyone's favourite – Bid for Break.
"We would like to congratulate Jerry on her successful bid to secure a family holiday to Halkidiki for just £20.70. With a new getaway available to bid on every other month until March 2026, holidaymakers have plenty of opportunity to pay just a few pennies for their next getaway.'
