We are a family of 5 ,two adults , 3 young children ages 4, 5, 8. We have never been abroad as a family we are looking to book now for next year 2012 and start saving now . I am thinking it would be cheaper in the long run to book all inclusive as my children are always wanting , what do you think ? then also i wont be worrying about saving alot of spending money nearer the time . I have had a few prices from thomson , direct holidays & few others and prices for all inclusive are coming back at around £2400 do you think i could get an all inclusive holiday any cheaper than this ? i was looking to paying £1700 or around that figure is this impossible . Can anyone recommend a tour operature ? one which i could also pay a low deposit .
Sorry forgot to say i would like a short flight maybe menorca , ibiza anywhere thats safe for children

    thinking maybe 14th july 2012 for 1 week , so week before school summer holidays starts thinking this date maybe alittle cheaper then waiting til school summer holidays begin but i am fairly flexable .my childrens school wont really allow them to be off in term time and it would mean taking all 3 of them out of school but if booking the week before school summer holidays saves me any money then so be it ;)

    If you are going to take them out of school for a week then consider doing it in mid-may when prices are much cheaper.
