potnoodle_2

Hi,

I live on southcoast and have found flights from bournemouth to salou leaving on a tuesday or thursday end july beginning august, returning a week later, for £10 each including taxes, therefore family of 4 can fly return to spain during school hols for £80 - ryanair. u have to pay with electron
have also found half board accom in salou for £590 4 star hotel half board. (thomson hotels website)

I am a teacher so can only go out during school hols, deal is still on net if anyone looking for cheap family hol.

Have you checked Hotelopia? It's owned by TUI, go thro Quidco - 12% discount and there is a 10% code on here somewher. We went thro' them in April when they had a 'glitch' and paid £44 half board 4* for 4 nights, less discounts and that was for 2 people!

did check mks, hotelopia cheapest that week is 200 more self catering

you have got 40pp bags and airport check in with ryanair, plus transfers

but still a good price for those dates

no, we take cabin baggage - 1 suitcase each like the cabin crew use is big enough for holiday clothes - we went to palma in april and had plenty of clothes that we didnt wear! Also as its a 10 deal with no taxes, there are no online check infees.
it really is 80 quid to fly family of 4 return to salou during summer holidays! best thing is we fly from bournemouth which is only 1 hour from our house.

Have you considered hiring a car instead of transfers? It cost a £46 plus fuel for 4 nts and previously £56 plus fuel before for a week with doyouspain. Check out other forums/tripadvisor forums if you are going to Port Aventura as there is sometimes a 2 for 1 voucher on the reverse of the McDonalds receipt - worth getting a drink for the receipt if they do!

ha, i remember the good ol days of 1p flights, 3 x to lake garda during summer hols with £80 camp sites for a week! downside was the long old drive up to standsted/luton. we only go from bournemouth now, april i got flights to palma majorca for 8 quid each, so 48 return! gutted i hadnt got an electron card so cost me the huge amount of 88, i really begrudged that 40 quid! just realised i could have got another 30 quid off the accommodation at salou by using quidco, thatll learn me

i did have a look at accom for you in aug, cheapest thomson have is around 800 quid for 2 rooms then

There are buses at the airport that take you to your hotel and you arrange pick up the following week. Plana is the company, its about 9 euros return per person.

I have booked transfers with touchdown tours. As I was struggling to find a good priced taxis. As there are a total of 11 of us flighing together 3A and 8 C getting in late at nighter I felt happier having a transfer booked. 168 euro retrun to salou for 11 of us. Not the cheaperst but a good price. I am hoping that we will love salou so much we will go back again and then use the bus which is a lot cheaper.
