I want to book my holiday to Egypt today!

Hays Travel have quoated £5,875 all in i.e transfers, inflight meals etc

6 adults 3 Children

All inclusive at Park Inn Sharm

Flying from Manchester on 26.12.2010 at 14:00hrs and returning from Sharm on 2.1.2011 at 22:40hrs

Only problem is I prefer to book by credit card which will incur a 2.5% charge which takes the holiday up by £146.88.

Can anyone beat or match but without such a high credit card charge?

I am scared of losing this deal so if I don't hear back by 1 pm today, I willl be booking with Hays.

Thanks

    Thanks

    Without wanting to sound overly unpleasant to a Newbie, but why are you asking other people to do something that you could/should easily be doing yourself ?

    I cant see how hays are getting this cost to be honest

    The holiday with Thomas Cook is over 6600 so to be giving all that discount they are making nothing

    Too good to be true, been through every operator and flight on that date, unless thet are giving about over 700 discount which would mean the agent is making a minus on the holiday
