A Yorkshire family of four are set for a sunny break to Tenerife for just £34 after winning a campaign through Leeds-based airline Jet2.
Jason Luty, from Liversedge in Kirklees, has successfully ‘Bid on a Break’ with Jet2holidays and secured a 4-star holiday to Tenerife for just £33.93.
After placing his bid - which he said he 'plucked from thin air - through the tour operator’s ‘Bid for a Break’ campaign, Jason was told that he had entered the lowest unique bid and had purchased a 7-night holiday to the Iberostar Bouganville Playa in Tenerife for two adults and two children for that same price.

Jet2holidays’ Bid for a Break campaign offers holidaymakers the opportunity to bid for their next holiday each week on the tour operator’s mobile app. Last year 23 holidaymakers successfully ‘Bid on a Break’ with the company and secured holidays to the likes of the Canary Islands, Greece and Cyprus for the same price as their lowest bid, with successful bids starting from just 2p.
New holidays are available to bid on each week. To get involved, users need to download the Jet2holidays app on the App Store or Google Play, add in a 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. Bids 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.
Jason said: “I saw the competition and thought ‘why not give it a try’, not thinking for a minute I would win. I simply plucked a figure out of nowhere, which was completely random!”
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com, said: “Congratulations to Jason for successfully bidding for a holiday with Jet2holidays through our ‘Bid for a Break’ campaign. With international travel now fully unlocked, we know how much UK holidaymakers want to get away to enjoy some much-needed sunshine, and we are giving them the chance to do just that in a fun way for potentially only a few pence. With some fantastic holidays available to bid on each week, make sure you get involved and have a bid in mind for next week’s holiday. We wish Jason a lovely holiday in Tenerife!”
Bidders who are unsuccessful will receive a special discount code giving them £60 off their next holiday with Jet2holidays.
