    Hi, I'm looking to book a holiday in the next few days.

    Place: Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh pref but will consider Taba and Hurgada
    Number of People: 2 Adults
    Date: Anytime in June
    Duration: 2 weeks
    Board: All Inclusive
    Hotel: Still considering

    Have looked on teletext holidays website and the cheapest we can find at the moment is £299/£320pp 3*/4*.

    Does anyone know of any other sites that may be able to beat this?
    We are willing to hold out a bit longer on booking if it means the price dropping.
    Thanks for any help!

    Jillski....flight to Chania in Crete from Gatwick on the 20th June 14 nights
    2+1 £484.00 with https://www.xl.com use divers code
    Then either
    Panorama (Olympic Gold) for 918 HB 5* ...I have stayed in the sister hotel in Cyprus and its fantastic https://www.medhotels.com/book/hotel_description.asp?HID=20020524190202869080&Lang=EN&Popup=yes&b=1 its only 19Km from the airport so a taxi wont cost much
    total for that one is £1402 Olympic price 1661.57

    or
    https://www.medhotels.com/book/hotel_description.asp?HID=20050720094010196497&Lang=EN&Popup=yes&b=1
    for 774.34 4*AI again only 35Km from the aiport

    homealone....There is a 4* AI in Cuba at the Occidental but it leaves the 21st June total £828 from Gatwick with Thomsons
    Thomsons have the Dom Rep starting at 918 total but its a 3* 4*+ Riu Bachata is about 70pp more expensive 26th from Gatwick
    they also have Mexico 4* AI for about 500 pp
    Prices dont seem to be that good just yet with Thomsons

    https://www.hayesandjarvis.co.uk have Sri Lanka for around 500pp HB
    Mytravel have Jamaicia on the 25thJune from Gatwick
    4*AI AOA £544 PP nothing else on top

    Most of the really good offers are for 2 weeks Like Aruba 600 AI. The really good ones also seem to be around the early part of the World Cup because I am thinking they are thinking England will go out so prices are holding.
    Cant change your holidays can you...lol http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=194356

    I will keep looking

    There is a 4*HB to Marsa Alam on the 8th June with https://www.xl.com hotel+flight use divers code for a total of £475.00
