    Hi there

    am looking to go away with my best friend on the 21st september (sunday) for a week's sun. we have never been on packages before as prefer independant travel, but think a charter flight may be what we should look for, s we want to spend a week sunbathing in a quiet part of turkey and maybe look at some ruins. flights valone are coming out as about £250, we'd spend around £20 per night between us on backpacker type accomodation..

    any suggestions?

    boufje- have you considered Lanzarote for the sunshine in Sept? Flights from London Gatwick on that date £177.98 each on www.skyscanner.net, 2 bedrroom villa with private heated pool in Playa Blanca £350 between the two of you on https://www.lanzarotelates.com , no ruins to visit but lots of other great places to see and things to do. Worth considering!
  • Manchester -Hong Kong - December 16th -
    Hong Kong - Manchester - January 8th
    Air France - Website
    £500 per person !!!! inc Tax
    3 persons

    We are looking to depart 15-17th December and arrive back on the 8-11th Jan

    Our plan is to travel to cambodia, Bangkok, ko samui, Vietnam. We have been advised that last minute internal flights may be the cheapest option.

    Unless anybody can come up with a good multi stop deal....

    We are very flexible on the internal flights..

    Many thanks
