in Overseas holidays & travel planning
I'm looking to go to the Canaries (any island except Fuerteventura) on the 10th or 11th February. I realise it's short notice. I can't find any flights or package holidays with availability.

I know I'll be lucky if anyone can find any. Flights will do, or with a good HB hotel by the beach. I'm quite happy to book accomodation direct. Can fly from (In order of preference)

Birmingham
Bristol
Cardiff
East Midlands
Manchester
Gatwick
Heathrow.
