could go either way if the route stays then they may be more competative in the market place will not know till next year lets keep our fingers crossed

Certainly the experience of most of our members seems to be that flights are full or hard to get or just damned expensive. Lets hope that the need for more and cheaper flights rubs off on EasyJet and they do something about it...thanks for the Intelligence Greys!

Hi

This is a statement from EASYJET

“This is an acquisition which both strengthens our customer offering at London Gatwick, our biggest base with an attractive catchment area, and allows us to fully capitalise on the potential of the airport through a larger number of slots. The deal will bring major benefits to both easyJet and GB Airways customers, delivering a wider choice of destinations at easyJet’s great prices, and creating clear value for our shareholders. We expect the acquisition to be earnings positive in our current financial year and in the longer-term we will transition the GB Airways operation to easyJet’s cost base and operating margin levels. We expect to achieve both cost and revenue synergies as we expand our business at Gatwick.”

Hopefully this is good news.

What was the total cost ?

The taxes etc are often more than the basic flight.

Have just found these examples of flight prices going out of Gatwick to Hurghada on 7th December coming back 14th December £247 inclusive.

Then prices for the 14th December to the 21st December is £298 inclusive.

We have a different problem flying from Hurghada back to the UK direct

They were definately there guys worked out about £159 in all ,if you are flexible check at the above website put in maximum days either side of your date and you will see the cheapest,also dont put in any departure airport it will give you all the flights in the next 90 days I think.

Dont know if anyone else is looking at travelling from Manchester (the Manchester flights are normally more expensive for some reason) but found the following:

thomas cook
£254.00 (Total price: 254.00 GBP INC TAX)
» Manchester Airport Hurghada 22/01/2008 Tue, 08:30 Tue, 17:35
« Hurghada Manchester Airport 29/01/2008 Tue, 18:35 Wed, 00:05

Or from LGW (Gatwick)

british airways
£210.70 (Inc Tax)
LGW/HRG 25/1/08 1300/2015
HRG/LGW 1/2/08 2125/0100 (arrives 2/2/08)

These were the cheapest I could find! Plenty of cheaper ones going to Sharm but unfortunately not HRG.

Maybe we should petition the budget airlines!??!
