canaries at christmas from Scotland

Prudent

I am looking for a week for 2 in the Canaries over the school Christmas holidays flying from Scotland. Does anyone have any advice about good deals?

If you can be back on or before the 24th Dec, or leave 1st Jan or later, you will avoid the high demand period and save £££s

I am a teacher, so can only go in peak demand times sadly.

Sounds perfect, but I can't go until the 22nd. I don't mind flying on Christmas day or boxing day.

Charter airlines generally do not fly on Christmas Day. Supplements for Gala Meals on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve may not be included.

The holiday companies put up prices because they know there is strong demand.

I can only speak about Tenerife here, but if you want xmas then you need to book really early. Our apartment is only 2 years old but is always booked by the end of Jan for the following xmas - and we charge double!!

BTW there are some good flight prices on KLM leaving from GLA to DXB on 25th December.

we're going to Gran Canaria flying from Edinburgh on the 22nd December, back the 5th January, Our flights are costing £780 for both of us though. The last couple of years we went to Lanzarote for Xmas, the first year was a package deal, but last year was all seperate. Have a look on flyglobespan website, as thats where we book our flights from.
