Hi,
Our seven year old son broke his arm on holiday this year which meant he couldn't go in the pool or sea so I would like to take him away for a week somewhere warm once the plaster is off. As we've already had a holiday this year the budget is tight but we'll consider anything.- Desired destination(s) any country considered.
- Which airport/ports? Belfast, Dublin or if nothing available from those Gatwick could be an option.
- Holiday Travel Dates. Around the 22nd August
- Duration of holiday 7 nights
- Number of people travelling 4 people. 2 adults and two children (13 and 7)
- Type of holiday? Beach holiday, accomodation with pool.
- Board basis? anything considered
- What your price range is. Optimistic I know, but around £1000 total.
- Whether you require an in-flight meal. No.
- Are night-flights or stopovers acceptable? Yes.
- Any specific requirements – child friendly preferred.
