    Thank you so much sloppychops and saveapenny for all your efforts. I'm sorry I meant 'anytime' as in 'at any hour' but my parents can't be flexible about dates as my mum only has time off between the 17th and the 25th Feb, which is where the 7 nights would have to be!

    Similarly, I discounted anything that was twin bed accommodation as it's for a second honeymoon so I would want a double. Getting down to Healthrow is also a bit of a potential problem, so I would really want Manchester flights if possible.

    Are there any Cairo deals around the £500 mark in total for these dates from Manchester? As nice hotel as my money could stretch to, but half board is fine if they're out on excursions all day. Plus they don't drink, so all-inclusive loses it's shine no doubt!

    I'm loathe asking if you wouldn't mind looking again, but if you could find anything within those very restrictive criteria, I would be so so so grateful!

    Looks like these 2 hotels give the best deals

    CATARACT RESORT
    SAKKARA ROAD
    EL HARANEYA
    GIZA
    CAIRO- EGYPT

    5 Star, Deluxe Class Modern Hotel
    BB £302
    https://www.holidayhotels.co.uk

    or

    HOTEL PYRAMIDS PARK INTERCONTINENTAL in CAIRO
    5 Star
    365.50 DOUBLE/ TWIN STANDARD BED & BREAKFAST (can have either twin or double)


    http://cairo-pyramids.intercontinental.com/ if you e-mail them and tell them its there anniversary they might get a good upgrade ;) take the photo tour it looks very nice

    best flight I can come up with is GBP 706.40 taking it £71 over budget
    flight with https://www.opodo.co.uk and hotel with https://www.wintersunshineholidays.com who still have the 5% off if you phone to book which will help bring it down if you do book anything like this make sure who ever you book the hotel with that you inform them that its a late arrival and give them the flight times to tell the hotel.

    There is another flight with Turkish Airline for £645.40 total my sisiter flew with them and said they was OK nothing special nothing bad and the flying time is better but connects in Istanbul rather than Amsterdam with the other one Turkish one is off https://www.expedia.co.uk who will put together a complete package.

    Both these flights would give them 6 full days in Cairo plenty time for your dad to be all histroiced out...lol (i like making my own words up )


    Just found the Turkish Airline flight cheaper still with https://www.ebookers.com at £618 ...its getting cheaper

    Found the Intercontinental Pyramid Park
    cheaper at 47 USD a night +tax on thier own web site or Call: 0870 400 9212 works out to 280 inc tax (approx) If you call them up check it inculdes breakfast and get a final price with everything but if thats right its well within your budget

    I worked on 8 nights because of the late flight on the return that way then they keep the room right up till they leave.

    If the price is correct you could afford to get them the BA flight now from Manchester at Total £ 745.40 17th out 25th back
    Leaving Manchester 13:00 on the 17th getting into Cairo 22:50
    Leaving Cairo on the 25th at 08.45 getting into Manchester 16:55
    Its much better times

    Hi everyone,

    I'm going on holiday to Tenerife from 18/07/06 to 25/07/06 I have already organised a hotel but am having trouble finding cheap flights to Tenerife South airport (it's not on the flight checker list) . I would like to travel in the morning and am open to a return time.

    Does anyone have any tips or ideas?
  • Hi Travelman,
    Hoping for some advice!
    I want to go to Iberostar Papaguyo in Lanzarote for 14 nights leaving between 10th - 17th July on daytime flights from Glasgow and staying HB.
    The complicated piece is there's 2 families going.
    Fam1 2 adults, 3 kids (14, 12, 5) and Fam2 1 adult, 2 kids (14, 9).
    The prices from Glasgow are so high we're contemplating traveling from Manchester as current best price from Glasgow for Fam1 is £3200 (Manc £2800) and Fam2 £2100(Manc £1625).
    Does anyone have any tips that will help us avoid the long drive!
  • Hi-had a quick look at flts & accom separately & Glasgow IS very dear-no way round it I'm afraid.

    Would you consider Gatwick (cheap low cost flt down)?

    Who was your quote with for Manchester?
  • Travelman, The quote from Manchester was from security travel. I haven't checked out the London airports - did that once before after 8 hours in Gatwick with 2 stroppy children I promised myself to never do it again but, hey, if there's a lot of money to be saved it's worth a look.

    Are you able to get a price please?

    Thanks
  • Hi-States is not my forte I'm afraid...sloppy/savapenny might have some ideas?
