List a few places you fancy baring in mind what sort of weather you wontIf you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel0 -
Saveapenny - Hubby is refusing to go as far as the Canaries - we had a flight from hell (!) coming back from Gran Canaria when my son was 9 months old, and I think its scarred my hubby for life! My youngest will be 18 months, if they play up 4 hours seems like a hell of a long time, if you get my drift.
I understand what you are saying though.. Erm, any other suggestions? I think I may have to persuade him to go for a longer flight time. The main issue weather wise is that its better than it is here, it doesn't have to be hot as such.0 -
Malta/Majorca would probably be your best bet then, When you take into account weather and a short flight and flight availablity.
I will have a good mooch roundIf you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel0 -

Hi there
My (American) friend is getting married in Las Vegas in April and I am looking for the cheapest way to be able to be there!
I live in Edinburgh so ideally I would fly out of Edinburgh (although Glasgow would be ok too). The wedding is on Saturday 15th April and I can't afford to stay there for very long, so I'm really looking for something that arrives either on the 13th or 14th and then leaves early the next week (17th/18th). My hotel for the Saturday and Sunday is sorted as I will be staying with the wedding party but I would need to find somewhere cheap to stay on any other nights that i was in Vegas.
It would just be me (1 person) going and I don't mind flying at weird times or anything. Basically cheapest is what i am looking for
If you could give me any advice about the cheapest way to get there and where i could stay when I was there, I would really appreciate it!!!
Thank you

Hi, I hope you can help with this one. My Mrs and I want to go away for my 40th in April. We want somewhere that is hot, not to crowded or busy but has enough going on to prevent bordom. The only thing that is a must is a good beach.
Info:
The time I can get off work is between 10th of April and the 17th. (one week holiday)
I would like to fly from East Midlands or Birmingham.
Price really needs to be under £800 for the two of us.
Self catering is best, but room only or half board are fine also.
We both fancied Lanzarote but all holidays that I have seen seem to be Thursday flights and just a tad too expensive (£800+ for 2).
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.0 -

Hotel details
Acuario Sol II Apartments
Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
is it for me? Holidaymakers looking for simple accommodation with plenty of opportunity to get a great tan, both by the pool and on the nearby beach will find this an ideal holiday destination.
location 650 metres to the beach, 1.7 kms to the resort centre and just 50 metres to the nearest supermarket.
facilities Two outdoor pools - Reception area.
food & drink Pool bar.
accommodation One bedroomed apartment sleeps up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children under 11. Two bedroomed apartment sleeps up to 5 adults and a child if the child is under 11 - Twin beds - Satellite TV - Safety deposit box* - Kitchenette with cooking rings - Fridge - Kettle* - Toaster* - Bathroom with a shower over bath - Balcony or terrace.
£850.20 now you could try ringing all the 0800 numbers off teletx and try getting it reduced but Monday flights to Lanzarote are few and far between so it keeps the price up but I think you could get this for 800
Dont search via late deals search from the main page its more expensive on a late dealIf you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel0 -
Presterjohn-same flights as savapenny...£825 for a 1 bedroom apartment at the CELESTE in Costa Teguise-350m beach & 250 m's bars, etc...fully refurbished in 2004, 2*+, 1 x 1 bedroomed apartment. Taken out in-flight meals as +£10 pp, & transfers as well (although could add for a private cab at £40 rtn) as there are many 'shuttle' services to Costa Teguise (short transfer) or sharing a cab would be cheaper. No card charges/any fees from us at all & we're part of Co-Op Travel.
The problem is that this is the Easter period-prices will go UP so be quick. PM/e-mail me for more info.
Or...what about GRAN CANARIA? Can do a day flight Birmingham (meals +£10 pp if wanted), Puerto Rico, Halley Apartments (2*/2*+-our grade), 1 x 1 bed apt, sat tv, pool, etc, 600m shops, 1/8km to beach BUT frequent busses/minibusses down, great sea views, only 29 units-refurbished to a good standard in 2003. Puerto Rico has a 'micro-climate' & is the sunniest spot on Gran Canaria-£798 total including transfers.
Again-BE QUICK-Easter will go up.0
