Rochdale resident scoops four-star holiday to Lanzarote for just £3.94

Joanna Tyson won a seven-night holiday with Jet2 for just £3.94

A Rochdale resident has scooped herself a four-star holiday to Lanzarote with Jet2holidays for just £3.94.

Lucky Joanne Tyson won the seven-night holiday after entering the tour operator’s ‘Bid for a Break’ campaign on its mobile app. She was inspired to bid £3.94 for the sunshine getaway by her daughter, who she asked to pick three numbers between one and nine.

After placing her bid, Joanna was told that as she was the only user to bid that amount on the holiday and that amount was the lowest, it meant that she had entered the lowest unique bid and bought the seven-night holiday for that same price.

Joanna said: “I’m absolutely over the moon to have bought a holiday with Jet2holidays for just £3.94. It will make such as difference and allow us to enjoy a much-deserved holiday in my favourite sunshine destination.

“It will feel fantastic being on holiday and knowing that I have paid the same price for it as my favourite Friday night toastie treat!”

Holidaymakers are offered the opportunity to bid on their next holiday each week through the Jet2holidays app. To take part, customers need to input their bid to the nearest pence and then cross their fingers.

If they are the only user to bid that amount and that amount is the lowest, they will buy the holiday for that price. Unsuccessful bidders will receive a special discount code giving them £100 off their next holiday with the operator.

A new seven-night holiday is available to bid on each week to sunshine hotspots including the Balearics, Canary Islands, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Spain.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Congratulations to Joanna and we hope you have a lovely holiday with Jet2holidays.

“We know how much UK holidaymakers want to get away to enjoy some much-needed sunshine and now we are giving them the chance to do just that in a fun way for only a few pounds. Everyone deserves the chance to get away and our ‘Bid for a Break’ campaign offers every person to do just that without breaking the bank, so make sure you have a bid in mind for next week’s holiday.”
