    This is the cheapest i've managed to find so far:

    The Quote itself:£408 (inc 2% Credit card fee)

    Who the quote is from: Flightandhotel.co.uk (via travelsupermarket.com)
    The departure Airport: Manchester
    Destination: Tenerife, Playa de las Americas
    The Holiday Dates: 15th Jan 09 - 25th Jan 09 (10 days) [i can go anytime from 9th-29th :10-14days]
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 1 adult
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Laguna Park II
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Self catering
    Any specific requirements: Fridge in room/apt



    The same for 14 days, though from 15th Jan 09 - 29th Jan 09 comes up at £537.

    Maybe i'm just a bit out of touch, but they seem a bit expensive to me.

    * I should say that I would also consider just a 7-day sun holiday anywhere in the Canaries if it was leaving around 11th Jan.
