    We don't really mind where we go, as long as it is warmer and drier than here, but we want to fly from Exeter or Bristol. With my current holiday we can travel on 21st, 22nd or 23rd, but if there is a bargain out there, I can try and change my holiday (maybe even get in two weeks!) DH is self employed, so he shouldn't be a problem. But he has to be somewhere on 1st September, so we have to be back by then.

    Many thanks for looking - and I will respond to everyone who pm's me.

    Booked at First Choice - paid £100 less than original quote.

    No response from here - probably due to the weekend, but wanted to get it booked as going soon.

    Bascially looking for a holiday to Hurghada, not fussy on hotel just as long as good quality 4* with good reviews on tripadvisor. Also don't mind if B&B, half board or all inclusive. Would like to be near the beach. Also not fussy on dates, could go earlier or later.
    thanks

  • Hi, I have been quoted, for one adult, £498 inc taxes to fly from London Heathrow on 1 September, 2008 to Lilongwe. Returning on 8 October, 2008. This quote is from lastminute.com and I wanted to see if anyone can beat this quote?

    Hia,
    Please can anyone try to beat my quote, am finding it hard to get a good deal this year, especially as travelling alone!
    Is it worth holding out until next week or the week after? does anyone think the prices are likely to drop at all?
