    Hi, Just found this thread, what a great idea! Any help very much appreciated. Also any insights into the hotel, or the gezira suites, weather in Feb etc as this is first holiday abroad in seven years and first ever with children!

    Sharm El Sheikh Egypt
    11th Feb 7 nights (flying from Birmingham)
    2 adults plus a 7 year old & a baby
    Four Seasons Hotel garden gezira suite B&B £4898 (best quote so far from Travelcounsellors)

    or exactly the same but flying from Gatwick £4532

    (we would be happy to depart 11,12 or 13 Feb)

  • Hi,

    My husband and I are looking to go ski-ing in Banff for the first time in March. We've tried costing it separately but can't beat the quote we've had below. Can anyone else?
    • The Quote itself: £1518
    • Who the quote is from: Igluski.com
    • Is there a booking fee: 2.5%CC charge
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Airline is Monarch. They didn't say officially who the tour operator was but we think it's Inghams.
    • The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    • The Holiday Dates: 17/03/10 at 11am returning 20/03/10 (but landing +1) at 07.20
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Hotel is Rundlestone lodge - standard room (they couldn't do an room upgrade but we'd prefer a jacuzzi suite)
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room Only
    • Any specific requirements: Price to include all taxes and transfers.
    • Is an in-flight meal included: Didn't say but we think so.
    Also, same spec but staying at the Caribou Lodge superior room was £1656. Happy to consider other alternatives in Banff?

    We'd appreciate any help as it's actually our honeymoon and after our wedding in August - we need all the saving help we can get!

    Thanks!:j
