awchowdhury - we only do holidays on this page not flight only - maybe try STA, Trailfinders, Flight Centre

mattr5 just tried to PM you, thought I'd see if you had any thoughts on be below (your inbox is full).

Hi,

I've seen you posting a few good deals, I'm currently searching for a deal for myself and the wife to be for after our wedding which is the 29th July.

we've decided on Sharm, and want all inclusive and a good hotel.

we want around 10 nights and needs to be on the beach, got some good deals on travelrepublic, but wanted to see what you could come up with.

flights from manchester
dates are flexible, so 30th, 31st July or 1st/2nd August.

Economy flights are ok, would need hold baggage minimum of one bag.

The mrs likes hilton sharks bay, so something like that would be great, with a decent room.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks

Hi Fuzed

This Forum has very strict rules - you must post a holiday you have found and ask us to beat the price

Thats why its called Beat My Quote

I will however add that Im not selling holidays to Sharm at the moment as the UK Government has banned direct flights so thats a non starter - sorry

thanks, I didn't know direct flights had been banned to sharm...

No worries

To be honest some operators still advertise them eg Thomsons/First Choice - but Thomas Cooks and Monarch and most others have said they wont fly there this year even if the Government changes its stance. The Thomson flights will only happen if the rules change and I dont think that will happen

Maybe switch sell wife to be to Hurghada/Makadi Bay area

Ive just priced up your Gatwick option with Onthe Beach and it seems to have gone up again
My prices are guaranteed on this one for the rest of today

There are cheaper accoms such as Colina Mar and Masp Oasis but not as good reviews so I'd say stick with the Eden - hope that helps
