Looking for the best possible package somewhere in europe, for 2 adults and one child of 7.
Is there a site in the know, basically, where am i going to find the best cheap place to get away to in europe.
This is a short notice getaway as my child is going back to school on the 3rd of september and i am on a budget, but really want to take him away over the holidays.
Am i p.issing in the wind, will i find something within that range or am i deluded?
Probably am, as i havent booked to get away in years, hence why i dont know where to look...
Wheres cheap (as in location), and whats the best site to look at?
I know im asking alot for someone to do for me, but im getting stressed out on search engines and online, looking for a needle in a haystack.
Please please point me in the right direction, whether it be a website or a location?
It will be so very greatly received, have a nice day.
Bye.

    If you're post messages asking for help with "cheap, cheap, cheap" in them, it might be useful to give an indication of what your idea of "cheap" is. Budget?

    Fair enough, i wasnt writing quickly cos i have the other half in the ear hole. lol. Was planning to include the budget in that message, thought i had.
    Its £1000 to include flight transfers and accommodation, child friendly.
    Preferably with a waterpark, buts its certainly not compulsory.
    Thanks

    Look at Ryanair flights to Reus, accommodation at Salou and tickets to Port Aventura.

    If you can easily and cheaply get to a Scottish airport consider flying from there as their children may have gone back to school when you want to travel.

    Also look at holiday hypermarket website.

    Try a late deal from a travel agent (you can get under £1k for 3) or try travel republic? I've had a few off there, they are pretty good.

    What are you dates? Where can you fly from! Do you need things like suitcases/swimming pools etc?

    When I look it's flights first we.skyscanner.net then accom from places like trivago, however there is little left available in summer holidays so you maybe lucky.

    I was looking today for myself, 2 adults, 9 & 0 year old and found fortnight in menorca for 1400, but it want easy!
