Bargains for July 2012...

colcheslad

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I both have booked off 12th to 19th July 2012 in the hope of getting some well needed sun this year. Being the skinflints that we are we have waited until as late as possible to get the best deal - however prices now seem to be going up rather than down on the usual suspects of onthebeach, Olympic holidays, Monarch etc. Have we left it too late?

We want to go somewhere sunny (Spain, Greece, Cyprus), we do not want to go to Portugal or the Canary Islands as we have been to both of these before and were not too impressed. Our budget is around £150/pp for flight+accomm departing from London.

Anyway, happy to do budget airlines, self catering, DIY packages or the tranditional packages, can someone help save our summer!

Many thanks in advance all,
colcheseller

personally i think you might struggle with such a low budget and specific dates that are within the school holidays, but hey you never know - good luck!

Actually you could be right! I'm in Scotland so didn't think (we start out holidays at the end of June)

Ice Lolly is your best bet, just keep an eye on that and select sun holiday, anywhere

I guess the prices will go down as it gets nearer to the 12th.
