WANTED - Three to seven nights ANYWHERE from Brum first week January

Where and when should I be looking to get a good old bargain on this? Want to fly from Birmingham, some time between 1st and 5th Jan to anywhere at all, for up to a week.

Price is the only real issue for me? Where's good to be looking? Or should I wait a week or two?

Cheers for any help
Andy

    Have a look here.
    £89 to Luxor in Eygpt, and lots of other bargins from Manchester and Birmingham.
    Plenty to choose from.
    Good luck.

    I found this for £110.
    You have three days to save up..
    It looks like they may have withdrawn the Luxor for £89 as I have done several searches and haven't found it.
