    I am planning a 2 week holiday in a villa in Spain. The villa itself is extremely cheap (and my sister-in-law has been there and rates the accommodation.)

    .
    Any chance of sharing information on the villa please?

    I'll give you the cheapest ferry if you are interested?

    2 kids in a car and driving all the way there....

    hmm, y'know, some things in life are worth shopping around for, to find a better price, and some things just shouldn't be done just to save a few bob.

    Keep looking, and see if you can get cheaper flights to hire a car somewhere less touristy in Spain then drive down from there.;)

    just had a quick look - https://www.flyglobespan.com fly from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen to MAlaga - to fly up to Scotland takes about an hour.

    Fly midweek from Scotland to MAlaga for the best price - £805 INCLUDING a compact car (fiesta type, bigger than a Ka)

    for that price you could afford to add an internal flight from Stansted to Edi or Gla and still be miles cheaper.

    I'll refer you to cheapest hotel chains too for details of the villa?
  • How about flying to Gibraltar? Really cheap flights available. x

    it's a fantastic landing in Gib - one of the shortest runways in the world...:eek: There aren't that many flights a day, so if one is delayed then there won't be an alternative.;)

    Might be costlier to hire a car though. Cheap cigs and booze on the way home, though if you stop off in Gib's high street.

  • Thanks for all the messages.

    Easy Jet won the day. The 4 of us for £506, in sociable hours too... Thanks for the Malaga Car tip too, car booked for £200 with 2 car seats.

    Will post the villa details when I open my wife's email folder!
