    Have you considered Liverpool to Salou ?

    Thats what we did last summer and we usually go from Manchester.

    Going from Liverpool I can go with RyanAir, the flights come to just over £240. Not bad at all.

    But then you add on £40 for paying for it, £40 to check in and £40 for baggage its half the price on top again!

    As for my dates, I have 2 weeks booked off in October from the 6th so I need a week in there.

    6TH Oct Liverpool - Reus 13th Oct Reus - Liverpool £234.52 plus £20pp per bag ( so I assume 4 x £20 ) that comes to £314.52.

    Thats not too shabby :T

    Is that including the £40 you've got to pay to pay them? And £40 checking in fee?

    I used to get a week for £500, I think I'm still stuck on that price for this year. :rotfl:

    You are having a laugh, right!!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    It is including the check in fee ( online ), but not including any fee you have to pay them for paying them !

    Dense question

    "No pooling or sharing of baggage allowances is permitted, even within a party travelling on the same reservation."

    Does that mean RyanAir wont let me share the baggage allowance between the kids? 15kg is plenty for them both so don't see why I should have to pay extra.

    Pretty sure you would be fine with one suitcase between the two of them. When you book just put 0 bags to check in by the name of one child.

    Dont forget that you can also take 10kg's hand luggage each as well.

    In fact we had 5 days in Spain over easter, went with Ryanair and only took hand luggage, doesnt half make life easier !
