    In August? The only one on Thomas Cook is leaving on 30 Aug from Glasgow! (the scots are back in school then I think)
  • mammytojake, can I ask where you booked your holiday as me and my wife and our 2 children are looking to go on holiday on 20th August for 1 week. If I could book something for under £700 for all of us it would be fantastic. I have always gone on package deals hence not knowing the best places to look in order to find the best deals. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    I was talking in terms of a flight, a 15 year old is still classed as a child.

    A 15 year old may be classed as a child but will still have to pay the same price for the flight as an adult.

    Exactly what criteria did you use? Nothing is showing up on the TC web site under £500pp if I do a search for 1 adult and 1 or 2 15 year olds on 2 Aug AI to anywhere.

    30 Aug probably isn't practical as it'll return on 6 September after most schools have gone back, it's not really "in August", it's mostly September.

    Thats the first I found but proves its possible.
    Also bus from airport for a euro and then another euro down the coast.
