    currently I just have a quote for the flight but I will also need accomodation. we would like to stay in a nice hotel on the strip so if you are able to beet the quote for the flight by including accomodation that that is fine!

    the flight has to be direct for this price unless you can undercut it dramatically for an indirect flight

    Thanks in advance

    Hi All

    I have been quoted £1,800 (each family) for:
    2 familes of four (2 adults and 2 kids all under 8)
    All inclusive
    Egypt, Sharm,
    St Georges Three Cornes
    Transfers included.
    From Birmingham
    With Going Places
    From Nov 03rd.08 to Nov 10th.08
    No air flight meal.

    Can anyone beat this, we can go anytime in October up to mid November and from most UK airports.

    Thanks

    Hi Whizzy - it wouldn't let me PM you

    Do you specifically want to go to that hotel/resort?

    The reason I ask is that I just did a quick search on Eclipse Direct and found two random examples:

    AI at El Wekala in Taba dep B'ham 4 Nov totals £1151.74.

    AI at Kiroseiz Three Corners in Sharm dep LGW 6 Nov totals £1356.06*

    *edited to add - this seems odd - it shows price on initial page as £1627 but when you click further shows total price as £1356

  • PennyPurple,

    Xcapewithus.com have four and five star hotels in New York for the 2-5 May from £455 (3 nights, 2 adults, room only).
    There's the 5 star Millenium U.N Plaza for £455 or the four star Millenium Broadway (which gets a 4/5 rating in Tripadvisor) for £475.
    In total there's over 20 4 and 5 star hotels available for under £900 for 2-5 may, I didn't check the other dates though I' guessing the results will be pretty similar.
