Midweek Breaks Abroad Tue-Fri Help????

Hi

Trying to book holidays that are from Tuesday to Friday (so just 3 nights) as my work means I can't be away Sat and Sun.

I looked at skiing

Then I looked at other types of holidays.

I looked at loads of deals.

None of them fitted this time frame.

Seems no one else has ever wanted to go away on these days?

Any help as to package/bargain/holidays on these days would be awesome.

Can go any week from Tue 1st Feb onwards forever.

Thanks for any suggestion or help.

Have spent hours on the web looking and always end up going Grrr as they don't book those dates.

Thanks

    Look at the flight timetables for budget airlines or scheduled airlines with a daily service to your chosen destination and book your accomodation separately

    I never suggested you were being lazy?

    You asked for help and I gave what I thought would be helpful information.

    Luckily tues to fri is the cheapest time to fly so have a look at ryanair/easyjet for a flight and then somewhere like booking.com or expedia and book a hotel, remember to check reviews on trip advisor for the hotels, i would also suggest mapping the airport to the hotel on googlemaps that way you have a rough idea of cost of transfers to your hotel.

    personally if im staying in europe, which was a few trips last year i always sort the trips myself

    And if you find somewhere pop back on here and ask questions about the area/things to do as someone has probably been there and done that

    Up until a couple of years ago I always booked Tues-Fri holidays and never had a problem getting a bargain.

    Try lastminute.com or look around and book the parts as you need them.

    I have done Washington, New York, Rome, Venice, Lisbon, Florence, Sorrento/Capri, Seville, Brussels/Bruges, Paris( dozens of times) etc, etc.

    Actually, the last time I went to Paris it worked out cheaper to stay for three nights at the Terrass Hotel in Paris, Bed and breakfast, and Eurostar than it would have cost me to stay for a week at my SILs apartment in Murcia!!!!
