Hi All,

If anyone is looking to go to Greece or Turkey -

Kosmar Holidays have the prices for Summer 2006 online or you can order a brochure.

New for summer 2006 is the holidays to Turkey.

I've been looking forward to seeing the Eclipse hols for next Summer for weeks now, supposed to be online today, just had a look and they're still only up to April '06 :evil:

Maybe they'll update it later today :D

I am also waiting for Eclipse, they probably meant midnight on the 28!!!!!! I have just tried and still no luck. :bhead

I've just used the live chat facility on the Eclipse website, the lady I 'spoke' with says hols should be online later today.

Eclipse have put the price up for the hotel I'm going to this year by a huge amount.

Conrad, Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt Dep Gatwick 27/07/06 14 nights 2 adults total price £1516.80.

First Choice are selling it for slightly less :?

I paid £550 per adult for the same holiday this year so it looks as though Eclipse are no longer the bargain tour operator they've always been in the past.

:roll: :roll: :roll: Sorry!

I misread the FC price!

FC selling it for £1570.16

I've never booked with anyone other than Eclipse, so can any of you tell me if £1516 for two adults All Inclusive, 14 nights, in the height of the season is more expensive than other Tour Operators (other than last minute which I can't do)?

I'd like to book the same hotel for next year, but if there's a comparable hotel elsewhere but cheaper, I'd love to know please!

This is for 4* in the Red Sea (Sharm).

Thanks.

Philippa :D

Pippy, i have just been quoted £2500 AI 3adults & 1 child, next july, 4star. That a free kid,so your price seems ok. I would pay it as i think you get what you pay for. karen

The hotel I'd really like to book again for next year is the Conrad as it's had some good reviews, I do like to book well in advance! :D

Another possible destination is Turkey, been reading through a few threads in the forum, if any of you know of a 4* A/I hotel for a better price at the beginning of the school Summer hols please let me know!

I quoted the price for two adults to keep it simple.

There could be three or four of us going, not sure yet, depends partly if my Son wants to come, but I'll base the price on two adults 14 nights A/I.

If you read this in time, could you do me a big fav?

Could you ask if they know of any other Tour Ops other than FC who go to the Conrad Sharm El Sheikh resort hotel, Sharm, Egypt please?
Reply

Thanks ever so much :D

This is the hotel I'm thinking of booking.....

I'm going there this year too and so far the reviews have been mainly positive.

It looks fab, can you not book the hotel and flights seperate. My friend is there now in Sharm, flight cost her £230, hotel £250.
Reply
I agree with Karen see if you can do it DIY. I know you can book the Hilton hotels in Egypt seperately as I have been looking for next year and this certainly worked out cheaper than any tour operator prices.
Reply
I hadn't thought of that.

I'll have a look on the Conrad website, and in the flights forum, the only problem is I don't think flight prices are online this far in advance are they?
