Cheapest airline for Sharm?

[thereisnofishofsuchvirtue]

So I'm planning my first trip to Dahab for a week from the 1st November and am struggling to find cheap flights - which airline do people usually fly with? I know the week before is half term so prices would be higher but there doesn't seem to be much difference the week after either...

I heard Taba can be easier but it looks like the charter flights stop at the end of October :(

Any help much apprecaied!

Ta!

My advice is buy a package with flights and accommodation included. There ain't gonna be any cheap flights for a while after the fall of XL. :eek:

What Eddie said , with bells on.

Having just re-booked a package to Sharm after being left in the lurch by the XL collapse, I can tell you that there aren't likely to be any 'just flights' available for a while & it probably wouldn't be prudent to book one if there was.

Unless you're willing to pay for the top notch regular airlines.

Thanks - will have a look at packages then :)

Anyone other than crusader I should check out?

Crusader was good in '01, but used SABRE (which became XL) and therefore may be in some disarray. When I used SABRE in '01, it put me in mind of SABENA - for which you must know the 1970's industry acronyms ;)

Oh thanks, will check on that
