Looking for a cheap week away

Hi

As the title says, off next week, just thinking we could possibly look to go away for the week, flying from the North West, not bothered where, just warmer than the UK, two adults, no children, not looking for anywhere full of bars or night clubs, just somewhere to relax for the week.

Could fly from Saturday afternoon, working in the morning.

Where is best to look for a last minute booking, really just an idea, it would depend on how much it would end up costing.

Thanks


Martin
Been there, done that, now I want to do it cheaper!!

    if you look on Skyscanner you can search for all flights from Manchester or Liverpool for that week and see where you fancy. I have a quick look and there is plenty of choice of flights for under £100 return each. If you then came back on here you would no doubt get plenty of advice about good hotels or you could go on tripadviser. Or you could try and get a package which might work out cheaper. there's a lady on the Hotukdeals website who has put some amazing cheap holidays on recently and there were quite a few for may - have a look on there.

    actually just realised you've posted on the part where people put bargains they have found so if you move it to the main holiday board you'll get more response.

    Ive just booked to go to Greece. Booked on Tues. Flying out next Tuesday.

    Not from the NW, but we are flying from BHX to Zante with Thomson. Staying B&B at the Venus Hotel in Kalamaki and in total its come to £480 for 2 people inclusive of flight, hotel, parking at the airport and taxi return to the resort.

    try sky scanner for all flights from manchester to see which is the cheapest (and check the weather as Spain isnt looking too good at the min!!) I booked the hotel through hotels.com and got cashback through quidco too :)

    Also, the hotel was rated no. 1 in kalamaki on trip advisor so im hoping its going to be nice!!

    Hope that helps :)
