Last minute Deal

Hi,

My girlfriend and I have saved booking our Holiday until the very last minute in hope of getting a bargain.

(Flying from Leeds, Saturday 11th ish, For 7 days Want to go somewhere hot and near a beach, thats it. Price pp, around £200)

I cant find anything!
You would think that they would want to fill empty places etc.

Have looked on lastminute, directholidays etc etc

Am i looking in the wrong place, i even called the Co-op and Thomson/thomascook

The pressure is on as i need to book something today.

ahhhhhhhhhh can anyone help?

    Consider alternative airports such as MANchester.

    September is a really busy month for people without kids going on holiday so there aren't many seats left to fill. I'm afraid your budget isn't realistic, the only thing you may get is an 18/30s holiday as there is some good deals on those but you may have to fly a different day other than saturday and manchester would probably be your best bet.

    Found this via Kayak for £230 each if you can pack *really* light.

    Or this in Turkey for £225 each.

    Have a play with destinations and you should find more.
