    1 bed apartment will have 1 double or twin room and then a bed in the lounge
    The person in the lounge will have very little privacy . If its not too much I would book a 2 bed apartment
    Try https://www.lowcostseats.co.uk for the flight you have quoted above its 432 for 3 but book it asap they will bring it inline with Thomsons soon
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Thanks for any thing you can help me with

  • Thanks saveapenny. Both titles say they are 1 bedroom... only the price suggests that the later is a bigger room? I think that £175 sounds a lot for a bit more room... I'm sure they can upgrade where there for less if needed...

    Thanks... Flights are booked... went with firstchoice direct in the end from BHX... slightly more but easier for me to take them... going to book accom through alphrooms via quidco... Now onto my holiday 2 weeks later... I need one now...

    Thanks again, they appreciate it....

    A good friend of mine has just had her holiday ruined that she booked ONE YEAR ago by Airtours suddenly changing their departure airport from Birmingham to Manchester with nine days to go! There is no way her and her hubby can get to Manchester (and Airtours are refusing to help out in any way up front) so they've canceled their holiday and got a refund. My friend is now pretty upset and so I'm hoping that a late deal will raise her mood.

    They were going to Egypt (Luxor).

    So:

    1-BHX
    2-5-8 Days
    3-4th-7th November
    4-Yes
    5-2 Adults
    6-Whatever
    7-WHatever
    8-NOT Europe - Florida, Egypt, somewhere HOT! :)
    9-
    10-ASAP to cheer her up - she's driving me potty
    11- £700

    Thanks!
