Holiday in January- where would be good for toddler
I reach a significant age in January and don't want a party. I would like to go on a trip somewhere a bit warmer than shivering in the uk. I don't want to fly too far with my little boy. He hasn't been abroad before. I thought that southern Spain would be a nice temperature in January but have no idea about hotels, resorts etc so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Where are you based, as a flight from Glasgow can take an hour longer than say a flight from Southampton. The canaries are good in winter, and they're only 3 hours or so from London. Try having a look through the First Choice winter sun brochure, available from Thomson stores, they have a few good suggestions in there.

i have been to costa del sol in february and march. although it was quite warm in the sun there was a cool breeze out of it.
i would opt for the canaries,have been to tenerife/gran canaria and lanzarote, lanzarote has always been the windiest

I am in east mids. Don't want it too hot, and don't want a long flight as he will be on my knee. Would consider Luton but gatwick is too far to travel for a week.

Hello

Tenerife is just over 4 hours flight from Luton, and the temperature should be around early - mid 20's, it's lovely. I was there in November a few years back and it was a great way to get some sun away from the UK winter!

I did take my uggs and a hoody with me, getting off the plane on the way home to Aberdeen was a shock to the system!

I would love to go further but I can't imagine a wriggly toddler for 4 hrs on my knee. At the moment he will sit on my knee for 5 mins max. Does it get better as they get older or worse.
Thanks

The Canaries are your best bet in January. You'll probably find your toddler will fall asleep during the flight, it's only 4 hours, it won't be a problem.

Now, a 24 hour flight to Australia (29 hours coming back !) with a toddler was more of a challenge for us, but we still did it ! Kids are very adaptable.

Canaries is my advice, Costa Teguise on Lanzarote is very family friendly, we took our 7 month old back in the day, no problems
