    Hi there

    This is the best I've found so far can anyone beat this.

    Through Expedia (think I might be able to get 3.5% off this through Expedia and possible 1.5% if it allows me to book with Amex) but have put the actual quote without these saving as not sure if this will work.

    4 adults (youngest 17) plus 1 child (13)
    Heathrow - New York (JFK)
    22nd Oct 2010 - 27th Oct 2010 (5 nights)
    American Airlines - depart Heathrow 08.30 - depart NY 18.15
    Comfort Inn Hotel Central Park West - 3 rooms including breakfast
    £4370.13

    All help really appreciated as a bit of novice.
    I like the flight times so don't want to lose time in NY for cheaper stay although if the price was significantly different then might reconsider.

    Flight dates a little flexible but trying to work with the half term so could fly out 22nd-27th and return 5 nights later.

    Hi All,

    It's our 10th wedding anniversary in November & we'd like to go to Sharm for 2 weeks.


    I have a quote for the following, if anyone can get it cheaper that would be great:

    Will go 5th-8th Nov, if it makes it cheaper, must be 14nights.
    Would be happy with other AI 5* hotel if it's good value for money.

    We'll also be looking at doing excursions - if you can't beat the quote but can chuck in these extras then that would be good.

    2nd quote is:

    Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook Signature
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomas Cook
    The departure Airport/Post: LHR (we live in the North East but I think this is the only option)
    The Holiday Dates: 25th Oct for 10 days

    We have chosen these dates as we only have a limited window of travel - can't leave before mid afternoon of 24th, and must be back by late afternoon of the 5th of Nov, so not much leeway.
    If anyone could beat this Id be very interested. Thank you
