What's the cheapest you have found so far?

Where are you in the UK?

hi
we are not far from gatwick !!
cheapest so far is just over £2k, ideally would like to be under that,
not that fussy really for where we want to go, but dont fancy Marmaris in turkey !!

What type of board is that for?

Certainly for First Choice/Thomson deps 1-5 Aug are now classed as late deals and fairly easy to search across parameters of your choosing.

Croatia should be easily doable for well under £2k for a week if you DIY. Flights aren't usually too expensive in August.

Hope I can help, just spent ages redoing my log in. We are a family of 5 so have the same issues when trying to find a holiday. The best bet to find the cheapest deals is if you don't mind having two rooms. Go on Thomas cook, I put in 1st August, then put one two adults and 1 child in one room and 2 adults in the other. My search came up with deals starting from £1440. It always pays to jiggle the occupancy in the different rooms to see what is best. Really hope this helps.
