  • I m after a good deal to Ibiza on the the weekend of Thursday 2st1-Sunday 24th June, staying in Playa Den Bossa.
    Its a mates stag do and they have already booked. I didnt think I could go as they are coming back at around 3 am on the Monday morning. This will make me late for an unmissable appointment on the monday so need an earlier flight.
    Earlier this week on onthebeach.co.uk and lowcostholidays.com I found a flight going from East Mids on Tuesday 19th and returning to Birmingham at around 1900 on the Sunday evening.( this was about £110) However the Ryan air flights are now around £170 so with a hotel its going to be nearer £300.

    The others are paying around £270 for what in effect is 2 full nights ( their flight arrives in Ibiza at about 0330 on the Friday morning) and I think thats mental for 2 nights in a hotel. % nights was about the same ealier in the week and It wouldnt bother me going a day or two before them and having a chill.

    SO I m looking for a good 3/4/or 5 night deal leaving between Tues 19th at the earliest and Thurs 21st June at the latest, returning on the Sunday evening. They have an apartment hotel sorted so i ll need a single room in Playa D'en Bossa.Its not a problem going to or from East Mids and the other half of the journey to or from Birmingham

    If there is not much available would i be better waiting til the week of the stag do and seeing if I can get a late deal?

    Thanks in advance
