Thinking of going to Egypt this year, and have been recommended a specific hotel...

Thomson package
Tropicana Grand Azure Resort
in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt - Red Sea
2 adults
11 nights on All Inclusive
London Gatwick flights (Thomson):
Outbound 13th May 13:50
Return 24th May 22:10
Superior twin room
Transfers included but no in-flight meals nor extra baggage
Total price: £1,395 (including £15 Quidco cashback)

In particular we're not fussed about having a 'superior' room, so happy to amend room type if that helps save money (but Thomson and FC didn't seem to have any normal rooms available). Also, happy to amend dates to pretty much any time March to May if it reduces the price. Cheers.

Ok last chance for anyone to beat this - I'm planning to book tonight! Can no one provide a better quote than the standard Thomson quote with no discounts?!?! :shocked:

By the way, having looked at the last few pages, is Delwynshd the only person trying to beat the quotes these days? Aren't there any other travel agents out there who fancy a challenge leading to some new business?

There are other agents who use the site

Sometimes if you dont get a reply they are unable to beat it

I used to work in short haul travel, but now work for a Long Haul operator I can only deal with cruise and long haul now

Wish I could help

Thanks
