Hi,
Just in the process of booking flights for next years Xmas break in sharm, we went this year (last year Now!) for the first time and loved it..
Can anyone tell me if £1224 is a good price for 4 adults return to sharm from BHX from 17th -28th Dec??
Should I buy them now or wait???
last year I got them for £650 but I can't see that happening again!!
Monarch and Easy Jet haven't released their winter flights yet, do I hang on or just go for the ones I found with TUI ??
Many thanks for all help :sun2

Kazzer, who did you fly with last time for £650? Easyjet tend to be good if you can book the instant the prices are released but it is a gamble as you can't predict what the starting prices are going to be.

Hi,
It was thomson, booked 3rd jan last year,
I've actually booked the flights now, I couldn't take the chance of waiting for easyjet, and having to go from London, extra expense with petrol, parking, hotel etc, and they might not have come up any cheaper anyway... least I've got peace of mind, just need a hotel now!!! any suggestions, must be 5* so booked the Bhx flights last night (we're 20 mins from airport)
thanks for your reply :sun2

Pleased you've got the flights sorted (though it is a big increase on last year :( ) on the dates you wanted. Just don't be tempted to look at Easyjet's or Monarch's prices when they're released!

Do you find it cheaper to buy flights then hotel separate?
I always find it dearer than a package :think

Half the sites i go on do not go as far as November only the normal few To's, they are advertising the fact, but when i try, its not available :duh

Hi wait for the winter route to come out with Easyjet. I paid £180 each for 10 nights from 18th Dec 2008. All this years flights ( April, June and Sept ) have cost no more than £150 each for 2 weeks return making it really cheap holidays.

If you read the thread properly the poster has already booked, so they can't wait !
