Hi guys
Thomson's prices are going higher each time I check now, and the difference between this and last year is considerable.
Thomson has also been re-organising this year, shedding thousands of staff and paying out redundancies,
closing call centres and getting existing First Choice and Thomson shops to deal with phone call sales.
Therefore a lot of profit was spent shedding staff, but watch next years profits go up.
Less tourists - yes, but a slimmed down Thomson is earning well, 400 million is not small change, unless you are microsoft!

Anyway - not a lot we can do I suppose, except vote with our feet if we don't like it.

I had to book Thomson's this year for many reasons, but the price shocked me a touch.

Never mind - See you Guys in August in S S.

Just been looking at 11 nights in Egypt again for April. I've won the holiday raffle at work so thanks to the closeness of the bank hols and the royal wedding I only need 3 days hols from work!!

Now the hotel we were looking at is one of the best in Sharm, rated at number 4 on Trip Advisor.....however the price through Thomsons comes out circa £3300 for 2 of us for 11 nights!! I might have to set my sights lower! I do believe that foreign holidays are fast becoming a luxury that few can afford! I get paid a good wage, have a company expensed vehicle and I can only afford nice hols when I earn a decent yearly bonus!

I don't know about The Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort but my wife and I went to the sister hotel Reef Oasis Beach Resort with Thomas Cook in November 2010 and it was fantastic.  

One of the best things was the snorkelling but 4 weeks after we returned the shark attacks took place so Sharm would still be on our list but the snorkelling would be definitely off.  By the way the fatal shark attack took place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the hotel next to The Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort

So if you go Gav, stay out of the water!!

Yeah it was the blue bay we were looking at. I'll check out the other one you suggest. Last year we went with a company called Red Sea Holidays. We stayed at Ghazala Gardens in a suite and it cost £1200. The only problem is they only do 7/14 nights.
I only went for a paddle last time and I was put off by seeing a massive sea snake lurking in the shallows......I did a double check to make sure it wasn't wearing Tonys wristband!!

Hi All. We travelled independently last year to San Stef and were going to do the same again this year but unfortunatly Thomsons flight prices from Cardiff are ridiculous over £700 for the 2 of us then accomadation and transfers so looked up thomsons package hols and booked 2 wks at the Barras for under £1,000 in August.
