I've been quoted £5016 all in for all-inclusive 3 adults + 2 children, (aged 11 and 14 on return) Hotel Sunrise Garden Beach Resort, Hurghada, Egypt.
Flights from Birmingham on Sunday 27 october 2019, 7 nights, returning Sunday 3rd Nov.
Thomas Cook
including 2 rooms,
room 1 = twin room for 2 adults,
room 2 = twin room for 1 adult + 2 children,
return transfers, gold travel insurance and pre booked seats.I love a bargain. Now mortgage and debt free. hurray!!:smileyhea0 -
Hi shopaholicz
Its a little tricky to quote like for like on this because of the insurance - I will need adult ages and if any pre-existing medical etc so what ive done is compare like for like excluding the Insurance - I get your price of £5016 on Cooks sytem just for this so maybe you havent included this in your price anyway
I can do this like for like with Thomas Cooks inc the prebooked seats and the transfers etc etc for £4816 saving you (I think) £200 -
If you are getting the Insurance for Free then you will need to allow for that in the Comparison - if not then im saving you £200
