half term sunshine Any help please?????????


Hello

Can any one help?

Looking for real bargain for next week - can go from tomorrow night - any midlands airports and ?london. Wil travel if the price is good!

It would be for 2 adults and 2 children.

Canaries is probably our safest option for the sun

Have been searching lots but just come up with fights from Newcastle - might just be a bit too far to go!

ps need to be back for Monday 19th (School!!!!)

any ideas really very much appreciated

thanks for your time!
