Best Last Minute travel agent?

We are looking to go away on Monday or Sunday Evening, anywhere which has heat and a pool at a reletively low budget but where is the best place to go for this and which travel agent?!

Any ideas?

Flying from Gatwick for 2 adults!

    I did this only last month when it was school holidays . I searched every website going , teletext holidays looked the best option , however when you rang they added hundreds more ontop :(

    We ended up at a last chance going into our local town and we popped into the first travel agents which was co operative and we got the best deal going - we sat for about half hr while the very nice lady looked for our budget .

    We ended up getting a full week for 3 in the canaries all inclusive for just under £400 all in . :)

    We departed 6 days later in school hols and it was a top hotel with lots of entertainment etc , and all good reviews online etc .

    So I would have a trip around your local area too if you have a rough idea of what you want :)



    also could you have a see what other airports you could fly from { for example a cheap train to stanstead or others ?}
