    Trying to find the best price to fly from Belfast to Sharm el Sheik on either Thursday 15th or 22nd April 2010 for one week for one person, B&B at the Radisson Blu Hotel.

    Best price for hotel is just under £300 and for flight on 15th is £440 and on 22nd is just under £400.

    Can anyone get better prices for me please?

    Cheers

    • The Quote itself: £216 per person per room, plus flights £137+£18 baggage.
    • Who the quote is from: Alpharooms
    • Is there a booking fee: No
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Don Bigote Hotel, Palma Nova, Majorca
    • The departure Airport/Post: Liverpool (although any North West is fine)
    • The Holiday Dates: 4th - 11th August, although some flexibility
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): party of 10
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): as above
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): half board
    • Any specific requirements: 4 twin rooms, 1 double
      .
    The flights are direct with easyjet, and I'm told by a travel agent that it'll always be more expensive through an agent than direct, but if anyone can beat just the hotel that would be great.
    Thanks.
