We can go late August or Sept or October, if flights and rooms booked separate we could do up to 10 days, as we know sometimes flights are cheaper on some days, just want to try and get the price down a bit from what I have been quoted. The only points we require is AI and Sharm El Sheikh.

Thanks.

Hi, new to this so apologies if im in the wrong forum. The cheapest holiday site I have come accross is www.sunshine.co.uk. The site prices flights, transfers and hotels seperatly and allows yu to view a clear breakdown of the costs. usually with Jet 2 when in Europe - This site prices its holidays flying with jet 2 cheaper than the Jet 2 Holiday site itself! E.g - 1 week in benidorm from Leeds weekend day time flights - £650 for 2 adults all in. Jet 2 holidays priced the same holiday at £759!!!

Hi all,
Hope someone can help me beat this quote. My wife and I want to go to Australia and do the East coast run from Sydney to Cairns for a month. The dates are flexible up to give or take 7 days and we would consider flying from any UK airport although our preference would be to depart Manchester arrive Sydney and depart Cairns/Brisbane and arrive Manchester as quick as poss - i.e the fewer stops the better.

This is the best I've found so far:
Depart Manchester : 11 March 2009 for Sydney

Depart Sydney 8 April 2009 for Manchester

Price: £530 + £221 tax = Total £751 per person

I'm new to this so if anyone can help or provide any advice then I'd be really grateful.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

Tony
