I am moving this post to this thread as requested by TRAVELMAN.



TRAVELMAN,

I would be very interested in any early season deals you come across for the the south coast of Crete ,IE Paleochora or any on the Lybian Sea .

Prefer Chania flights from Manchester but any on M62 corridor or to Heraklion is OK as I will probably hire a car to be waiting at the airport !

Hi,

May or Early June would be best for 1 or 2 weeks and probably just for myself unless my son can get time off work .

I am an experianced independant traveller and know I will have no problem getting accomadation in this area but flights are the problem and sometimes a SC deal works out cheaper for one person even paying a SPS than flights and then independant accomadation.

Just need to compare really and see if others can find deals I cannot !

cheers

Thanks for that Sloppychops !

Probably a bit early yet so will bide my time, in my experiance from about 3 weeks before your travel date is the best time for deals, as I said before a SC deal can work out cheaper than flights even if you do not use the accomadation.

I agree we have often booked up on cheapie deals and booked other accomodation.

Hi Sloppy / Travelman

Im still trying to find a family holiday (all inclusive), something leaving 26/27/28 May from leeds/man/new/notts/birm 3 adults (one is 14) and two kids 10 & 11. Somewhere nice and warm for less than £2000. The prices seem to be creeping up now. What are LAST, lAST minute deals like in school hols??? :eek: getting worried now

sloppychops

Last minute deals in holidays are very limited and still expensive and in alot of cases allocated on arrival.
Give us a few more ideas of where you would like to go and we will check.
