Help with booking a city break

jenny_f

At Easter me and my boyfriend are wanting a cheap European city break.

We've chosen the dates and aren't too bothered over where we go, preferably somewhere we haven't been before.

Regarding airports, we've a choice of Stansted, Luton, Leeds/Bradford and Manchester, with a preference of returning to a northern airport.

Does anyone know if there is a website where it is possible to put in dates, airports and then see what desintations and prices it throws up?

We'd ideally like to travel early morning so we can make the most of that day.

Also any one any suggestions on cheap airlines to use, hotel websites or destinations?

Cheers

Easter is expensive generally, Ryanair offer the best flight prices. Avoid Spain if u want good value accommodation, prices go up.

Thanks! We've managed to avoid the main two weeks though as I get 5 weeks off from uni and his work is pretty flexible so hopefully we can find something!

Have a browse at https://www.jet2.com and if there is a destination you fancy put it in https://www.hotelscomparison.com then check the hotel reviews at https://www.tripadvisor.com for the hotel u fancy.

Last year, OH and I worked on this principle and got a fab long weekend in Genoa (Northern Italy). Basically, we booked the cheapest flight Ryanair did to where ever - but avoiding Spain! It turned out to be Genoa, and we had a lovely time there - plenty to see and do and a great train station to take you to glamourous places such as Portofino. We got our hotel through www.hotelscomparison.com as someone else has already recommended!

Hi -

Try https://www.skyscanner.net

See what destinations it gives from your local airports that interest you. If you aren't tied to specific dates you can easily see how to get the cheapest flights from the bar chart. It's a great site.

Once you have your destination - check this site for hotels :

https://www.hotelscomparison.com/

It will check a load of different sites for you and show the best prices.

Good luck.
