Can you beat this?
Flying on 18/1/11 for 14 nights from Manchester for 2 adults and 2 children (aged 8 and 2)
We were quoted for staying at the Comfort Suites Maingate East with a free hire car.
It also included the Disney 14day ultimate tickets.
Flying with Virgin
£2600
I have found a holiday to quality inn plaza (seems a better hotel) on 24th jan for £2038 (not including tickets) flying with Thomson.
Is that a good deal?
Who would you fly with and what are the key differences?Lead me not into temptation, I can find the way myself.
wins - peroni bottle opener, peroni bowl, peroni coastersx2 and a vodkat cocktail kit,
would love to win something 'proper'!!0 -
Its the same hotel, Hiltan Taba is standard rooms, Nelson Villiage within the Hilton Taba are the luxury rooms. We can travel on the 22,23 or 24th May. We want 5* luxury for a week in the sun AL. We would look at another hotel in Egypt or maybe some where else that will be very hot.
