    Hi

    Just booked our holiday last night - similar criteria to you.
    I found the Thomas Cook website the easiest to use and cheapest. You can put in the date, departure airport etc and search to 'any destination', the full price is easy to see (rather than a lot of sites who have numerous add-ons.

    We just paid £2400 for 2a+1c for 2 weeks out of BHX on the 23/08 to a 4* AI hotel with good (recent) reviews. The price has annoyingly gone up a lot over recent weeks while i've been watching :mad:

    Don't forget Quidco - 2.5% for TC holidays

    good luck
