i just wanna go somewhere exciting

I haven't got a job so money is a bit tight, but i have plenty of time and i'm bored doing nothing all day.
So i just want to go somewhere random and exciting, possibly at short notice.
I find most travel websites hideously complicated though, with their confusing drop down menus and endless options.
Isn't their just a website that lists cheap package deals for people who aren't looking to go somewhere specific and are flexible about travel dates? and NO drop down menus(!)
(i'm particularly interested in european city breaks at the moment)

    I've never seen a cheap package deal for a citybreak.

    If you want cheap you'll have to do flight + hotel.

    BTW what is your preferred airport?

    https://www.ryanair.com and https://www.ratestogo.com are good for starters.

    Sorry by package deal i meant flight + hotel as opposed to just flights
    My preferred airport is gatwick (well it's manston actually but that's not offering a full service anymore) but any london airport would do.

    yes
    if you go onto cheapflights.co.uk,. and clikc the cheap holidays tab at the top, theres an option "dont care where you go" with a calendar. click the date you want and see the deals.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
