    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Disneyland Resort Paris
    departure Airport/Post: Ashford International Station (direct trains only)

    We could be flexible on dates to leave earlier in the week (half term), but I have not been able to find availability for the direct trains.

  • :confused: I have been quoted £1,005 for a 1 week all inclusive at the Radisson SAS in Taba in Egypt again leaving on the 2nd November from LGW for 2 adults and 1 two year old. Can anyone beat this?

    I have also been quoted £933 for a 1 week all inclusive at the Nuweiba Hilton Coral Resort in Nuweiba in Egypt again leaving on the 2nd November from LGW for 2 adults and 1 two year old. Can anyone beat this?

    I have also been quoted £1,059 for a 1 week all inclusive at the Intercontinental in Taba Heights in Egypt again leaving on the 2nd November from LGW for 2 adults and 1 two year old. Can anyone beat this?

    None of these have a booking fee except for a credit card charge but I will be using a switch card. All quotes are with Thomson.

    I look forward to hearing from someone. I will go with whatever is the best deal which may not necessarily be the cheapest but which I hope will be under £1,000. Regards Penny Munro

    I've had a quote of £484.31 for the following:

    - From Travel Republic
    - 1.75% credit card fee or 0% debit card charge
    - 4* Neptuno in Roquetas, Almeria
    - 2-bedroom apartment Half Board
    - 3 adults and 2 kids ages 12 and 7
    - 10-18th October
    - Accomodation only as we're booking our own flights

    Can anyone beat this for this hotel as I think it's a pretty good deal? We would also consider other similar hotels in any of the Almeria coastal resorts. Thanks.
