A couple of months ago I was browsing the internet for holidays to Sharm el Sheikh in November. Back then, I came across a website that seemed great, you could choose a flight and then choose a hotel (rather than it being all together as one package). Now I'm seriously looking, I can't find the website at all - does this sound familiar to anyone.

Thanks.

    for loads of Sharm holtel reviews

    Personally.....Coral Sea Resort is probably one of the best in Sharm

    https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk (might be the one you meant)
    https://www.hotelscomparison.com (for accommodation)

    For flights, I would suggest:

    https://www.thomsonfly.com
    https://www.xl.com (search for codes for this...one code is the plural of a person who dives...)

    Thanks.

    I think you might be looking for "build your own" on Thomsons website. Sometimes this does work out cheaper othertimes not, so check all the prices.

    Expedia might be worth a look at as well.
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.
