Nenen wrote:Have you read Martin's tips for getting the cheapest train fare Gandulf... it's a long and slightly complicated procedure but might help! Just click on the 'travel and transport' link and go from there. Martin says there he's in the process of getting an expert to devlop a search engine that will make finding the cheapest fare easier but the whole rail system is such a mess it is taking a long time to do! I find it amazing (not to say immoral in the light of environmental issues) that we can travel by plane so much more cheaply and easily than train!
thanks nenen. i'll look into that.0 -
Hi
Just wanted some advise about a holiday to Egypt. We have the opportunity of a Detached Villa with pool in El Gouna for £400 per week (based on 6 people sharing). Is this a good deal??
We are looking to travel beginning of April, does anyone have any idea of cheap flight deals....best I can get is £219 per person with my travel (April 13th from Manchester). We can travel from Manchester or Glasgow because we live in Newcastle. We are looking for flights for 6 people.
Would anyone know how much it would cost for a flight from El Gouna to Cairo (to see pyramids) as I have heard bus journey is 5 hours long!!!
Many thanks......0 -

Have you had any ideas about where we could go that's not too hot in August?:beer:“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles.”

Just could not sleep so got up really early this morning.
Right how about Tunisia?or Bulgaria?
Is there anywhere you would prefer to go to?"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0 -
Thanks so much, sloppychops .
Those prices look really good and are way cheaper than what I managed to find myself.
I'll have a look at the accommodation reviews and will let you know what I decide (I'm leaning towards Benidorm I think)
Thanks again.0 -
