"I urge everyone to get involved and place a bid as you might end up in my position."

To take part, customers need to 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.

"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 pence or 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."
