Hi, me wife 2 10 yr olds
would love to fly somewhere warm, with a beach m- all inclusive would be good as kids love ice cream
could fly from anywhere as in middle of country but midlands (east or birm) even better
can go on 28th dec ish for about 1 week. could go 27th but before that would be rude as inlaws up for xmas and happy to stay and watch the dog...
im not really sure where to start but on one site was quoted £2.5k for lanzarote in a 3 star, that seems an awlful lot of money
HELP PLEASE

No sun guarantees, but you should be able to get change out of £1,500 if you look at Malta or Benidorm type locations.
Canaries should be in the region of £2,500.
Fuerteventura tends to have more likelihood of sun and more hours too.0 -
I am just checking malta, its definitely cheaper...0

Do check average temps before you book eg December (Malta) 5hrs sunshine highs of 17dgrees, lows of 11 degrees.
Also the forecast- you can find 14 day, or up to 28 day forecast online which will give you some idea (if you believe such things!!)Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

If thats the main reason for AI then i would consider self catering. Eat what you want and where you want at your own budget. Ice cream is cheap.0 -
Egypt is IMO the only cheapish option for guaranteed sun and heat this time of year. c. £500 each for AI in Sharm or Hurgada.The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....0

We are heading for Egypt on Tuesday hoping for some Christmas sun but see that there has been snow in Cairo! Temperatures on the Red Sea are abnormally low. Hoping it will pick up soon.0

You will be much warmer than you would be here, take something for the evenings though, just in case..............0
