Flights

[iain]

Hi Huggy - I have moved our posts in to the chit chat section of the lounge.

We have only been to Hurghada once but have been to Sharm loads of times. My felt we didnt get the same connection in Hurghada as Sharm if that makes sense. I think Egypt and certain parts of it are like Marmite - you either love it or hate it. Our daughter didnt like Hurghada and we were not as keen on it as Sharm. We felt more at home in Sharm. Also the flights are cheaper and easier to come by. Easy jet is now flying to Sharm all through the summer and we hope they will continue through the winter as well. We managed to get a bargain from them for £100 each return for a fortnight this October.

That's a fantastic price - I've been looking at fares over the year from now with XL, Easyjet Thomsons and am a little concerned that prices are more often than not £300 + (which is actually not bad for a 5 hour flight but would be happier around £ 200 - 250 average). Our preferred airport is Luton and there is usually more available through Gatwick.

Let's hope with all the increased traffic to Sharm prices will stay reasonable as we would like to go out for a few days at a time at off peak times.

Hi Iain I was really lucky getting those prices and as soon as I saw them the debit card came out and they were booked - you cant hang about see a bargain book it. I think I saw these back in Jan and we always go Oct. I would recommend that you all sign to Easyjet and as soon as the new routes come out you will be emailed. Do what I done and spend half a day searching different dates throughout each month and Im sure you will get a bargain, The earlier you book the cheaper it will be.

Hi Alison

I found a great hotel in Nabq Bay called the Palmyra Amar Al Zaman. It is a brand new hotel belonging to the Palmyra Group (owners of the Three Corners in Nabq Bay). It is under the personal supervision of the Owner Elias Michael. You can contact Elias on 0123 99 9259; he gave me a great deal at 50$ per night all inclusive and the food was superb. It is right next to Sierra and has private beach access although about half a mile away. The pools and entertainment are great. We are going to be selling their new Development next to the hotel called Mashareq. If you call Elias say that I recommended you. It was Zeiad who found him for me.

Looks interesting as I'm planning on visiting June time and could be good to be near Sierra - I'll make a note of it - is that 50 USD per night inc?

That was all inclusive! Even included a midnight cold buffet. I was introduced by Zeiad Yehia who is a friend of the owner so not sure if this was a special rate
