    She could try phoning Thomas Cook directly for a price. They are doing a programme to Cayo Santa Maria this year but for some reason it is not searchable on their website :confused: When I phoned them to question this they couldn't offer me a plausible explanation either :rolleyes:

    As well as the above specific quote, basically, we're wondering if 7 nights AI in Egypt at £400 pp (or as close as humanly possible) in at least a 4* hotel with decent reviews is possible? We have a window of departure any time from 5th to 13th of April. Would fly from any London or Midlands location. Thanks so much for your help!!

    Hi Everyone, I am new and this is my first ever post so I apologise in advance if I have posted in the wrong area of the forum. I am looking for a cheaper quote on a hotel.

    Hotel name: Metro Park Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
    Date: 21st Oct to 24th Oct (3 nights) and 25th Oct to 26th Oct (1 night)
    Quoted price: £105 per room per night
    Website: Expedia

    I would really appreciate if anyone could get this cheaper for me, or even if they have a discount code for Expedia. Thanks in advance.

    Bethan :-)
