    Can you use thomas cook vouchers for flight only - ie buy the flight only not a package. Im wondering if it might be possible to pay fgor the flights with TC, then possibly stay somewhere seperate. ( ie peice the holiday together) to get it in budget :)

    Check the T&C's of the vouchers are there may be a minimum spend before you can used them.

    Ok

    I think it is possible to do it this way :D

    I have just taken the first flights I coudl find from Luton is with Eay jet via thomas cook on the TC website. This flight works out ( only a week tho) from 5-12 August the total price for all of you is 612. Therefore you could pay the max in TC vouchers. BUT ONLY if you can use thre vouchers on the flights only- im not sure if you can!

    Ive then found a 2 bed self catering aprtment - Near Blanes Beach

    Menorca is one of the Canary Islands, by Majorca.

    Will be hot, beachy.

    Wuld something else be preferable, like a activity or city holiday?

    It's not one of the Canaries, it's one of the Balearics along with Majorca and Ibiza.
