    I have got a quote for £987 for 2 adults and 1 child (6 years old) to Tenerife (Adeje) from 13th February to 20th February (half term is Feb 11th - Feb 19th) flying with Ryan Air out of East Midlands. It is to a 4* hotel with an all inclusive package. The price does not yet include transfers, hold baggage or meals on plane, but does include 10kg of hand luggage.

    We will go anyway hot (above 25 degrees and not requiring any jabs) between 10th February and 20th February. Will not consider self catering, will consider half board (if offer found below £850 for all of us). We will fly from Doncaster, East Midlands, Manchester, Leeds,Birmingham and if its very cheap (taking into account petrol from South Yorkshire) Liverpool. The priority for airports is in this order.

    Please help, we haven't been abroad for 3 years.
