    melt71 cant find anything in your budget for Canaries AI or Cyprus AI for your dates only on the 18th October. 18th I can find for between 850-950 but nothing after
    I think you might have to rethink your budget or board base

    Would it possibly be better to wait until nearer the time? I have booked an AI in August about 3 years ago (Majorca) as a last minute which was very cheap but I'm not sure if it's the same in October, I'm assuming there will be less availablity in the first place?

    Thanks for trying anyway.

    If it as to be those dates. How about altering your board say go HB or S/C.
    I have found that the August holiday is easier to get a week away cheaply then the October half term week. It seems like its everyones last attempt at sunshine before winter sets in so it tends to keep the prices up for the still sunny areas such as the Canaries, Cyprus, Eygpt.
    Would you consider Turkey or Tunisia?

    no I don't fancy Turkey or Eygpt, have been to Tunisia many years ago and would consider a reasonable hotel in a tourist area (their 5 star seemed to be 3! and as I went to a non tourist area it was a complete dump). Would it be cheaper in Tunisia than say the canaries? I haven't looked at prices for there.

    peatling.... Could you go from Manchester on the 9th Agust
    £1,037.00 for the flight for all of you
    then the 4* Sol Sharm on HB £627 (its £10 cheaper on HB than it is BB)
    Transfers ...jump in a cab
    *off med hotels* Distance to Sharm El Sheikh airport (SSH) is 10 minutes drive.

    Thats the best I can find around your budget

    https://www.xl.com for the flight (divers code)
    https://www.medhotels.com for the hotel

    there is also a 3* BB for 456 http://www.medhotels.com/book/hotel_description.asp?HID=20031217145037567945&Lang=EN&Popup=yes&b=1
    which would be cheaper but the extra 200 and you have evening meals for all of you

    totals
    £1664 4*HB Sol Sharm
    £1493 3* BB Tropicana Rosetta
