£300 voucher with Thomas Cook, suggestions please

Hello everybody,

I have in my possession £300 worth of Thomas Cook vouchers. Thomas Cook is v expensive and I have never found anything I wanted to spend the vouchers on (I figure with Thomas Cook,£300 could probably only buy a short-haul flight within Europe and maybe 2 nights hotel ?) Is anybody aware of any particularly good value offers ? I'd love to go somewhere further away, hot and culturally different to Europe, but not North Africa as I went to Morroco last year.
Apart from that Im open to any suggestions !
Thanks guys !

    Are these worldwide travel vouchers or money off vouchers. If they are worldwide tv then you can buy anything in thomas cook other than foreign exchange ie a holiday from a different operator Cosmos, thomsons, Kuoni etc, airport parking, theatre break, attraction tickets ie Drayton Manor, legoland etc, if they are money off vouchers then they're not really worth the paper they're printed on. If you don't fancy any of the above you could sell them on Ebay, or do you have a friend who books with TCook.

    You can use against flight only purchases on scheduled airlines so put a flight together with your own accomodation/transfers etc to get exactly the holiday you want. I've seen flights on their site at roughly the same price as anywhere else.
