All the reviews say its lovely, which makes me worry a little

I never admit to anything Mr. Wall, and anyway, how did you know the ladies name was Penny? :?

You know, Lion, those "stern" types who sit there and dont know what's going on around them, just how the pieces are placed. They're usually from Munich or even Zurich. Mr Sinai tries to emulate their attitude of course, except when he's being barracked by one of the wild bunch! No suggestion meant that it could be someone from sarf London! :wink:

Not quite that, Alan, its the staff who start shouting for "Meester Alvin" to get him up at 6am, so he can pretend to the guests that he's been out for a swim already! :roll:

Has anybody "done" the Swisscare outwith a tour operator? The prices quoted on Swiss' website look competitive but we can't seem to find any flights that are cheap.

We're looking into going again either in June or July of next year.

Mark :D

Hi Mark,

Just a had a quick look for flights and the cheapest I could find were with BA--------10 June from gatwick to Sharm £214.70 pp. which isn't too bad!

We're back at Swiss' next Thurs :)

Same price can be found, some dates, right through into July...
Hmmmmmmmmmm....... 8)

I'm considering coming out for a week on my own next year. Never been abroad alone before! :yikes :yikes Depends how much I'd be clobbered for supplement-wise :?
Reply
Mum and Nats are already going to Greece next year and Mum to Mexico (I think) but I'm not going anywhere.
If I came on my own I wouldn't have to worry about coming during college holidays. Would the beginning of July be much cheaper than the end of July for a single traveller?

Well Pippy...

For the first week in July

If the flight is £215 to Sharm (with BA from Gatwick - webprice as of today)
... and Swiss' website quotes transfers at $135 for one passenger from Sharm
... and Swiss' website quotes rooms for one at $58 per night half board, plus an extra $5 for Thur/Fri/Sat, minus 25% for stays of 7 nights, minus 10% for paying three months in advance...

I make that, all together, about, roughly, assuming $2/£, it comes to...
£435 for the week.

But you might negotiate 'special' deals with the man himself...

Longwoods to Swisscare at the same time is £489 plus £11 single suppl/night, so that makes £566.
But Jetline would get a discount on the package price, of course.

:wink:
