I looked into doing that. But no matter how I cut it, booking rooms separately and then booking a flight, even a charter flight, couldn't come close to a charter package.Lord Melch:I would also try booking direct with the Hotel.
They all communicate in English via email and you don't get a travel agent taking a cut.
Too late. I just signed the contract. I don't want to hear it. LALALALA.Lord Melch:Oh IMHO the Swiss Inn next door to the Hilton is much nicer..
They're submitting it without our passport information or nationality. Hopefully it'll be accepted by the broker and/or hotel.
The travel agency I'm dealing with directly just called me... they're mystified too why the broker even brought up the possibility we could be charged more by the hotel, just because we're Americans.
See above. One of the benefits of living in this part of the world! It's tough to beat a charter package, if you're dealing with a reputable company and can get convenient dates and times. Our flight back from SSH will be at 04:00. :11:Red Sea Shadow:Hotels offer their agents significantly lower prices than they offer Egyptians, especially those agents in Eastern Europe.
