Holiday for family required help!

Hello! The other day I posted on the 'quote for something specific' thread for flights to Turkey. My friend/boss has managed to find an apartment for him and his family there for around £840 for 2 weeks and sloppy found flights for £1400 or thereabouts, which totals £2240 + transfers s/c.

I'm sure he could get a break to the spanish mainland or balearics for cheaper, the trouble is they are a family of 6 and so quite hard to find accommodation for.

can anyone help?

2 adults, 7, 10, 4 and 4 year old children...

anytime in August!

thanks in advance!

    Thanks again sloppy! I was trying to avoid Ryanair as the family have never travelled by plane before and wanted to ensure as best I can that their flight experience is a good one!

    Have a look at Sieta holidays.

    I have booked 10 days all inclusive including travel over the Easter break for 2 adults and 4 children aged 15, 14, 11, 9 for £1400 to Salou, Spain. We are going by Eurotunnel and coach. You can just book hotel accomodation with them if you want to get your own flights there. The Hotels are either half board or all inclusive or you can get self catering and if you phone them I am sure you will get a great deal

    Thankyou Fabwitch, I'll give them a try!
  • Hi,
    Hope this helps.

    A couple of years ago, we stayed at the Sun City Apartments, Side. Just looked at Cosmos and you can travel 12th August from Gatwick for two weeks, 2 adults, 4 children, £2295 yes that's right. It's a great place to stay, approx 10 minutes from the beach. Restaurants around, nice pool, entertainment on site etc etc.
    If you want to know any more, let me know.
    A little thanks now and again would be nice.;)

    If you were to go to Canaries,eg Peurto Rico in Gran Canaria accom is much cheaper in August. A 2 bed apt such as this would be around £500.You could shop around a bit or save 8% booking via quidco too.

    Flights to Las Palmas for 6 persons on 4 Aug from Manchester would be £1560 via XL.com (use code TESCO)
