    Hello,
    I've looked at so many quotes I'm lost. I'm looking for somewhere hot sunny and CHEAP for the summer holidays. Four adults, and three children, 16 (also probably counted as an adult), 11 and 4. From any London airport and anytime during the summer holidays. Needs to be as cheap as possible but not a mobile home.
    Thank-you in advance for any help.

    if you want to go for a week then have a look at inghams too, go and do a sudo booking with them on their website and add all the trips they offer too on the booking - think you will find they will come out cheaper than crystal ski - a week at that time of year is usually about £2500 for the flights and hotel etc then you can add the trips on yourself - also do look at companies such as activities abroad, espirt and magic of lapland - you also have to factor in the cost of the clothing as you have to be prepared for that

    I do hope that the crystalski cost is full board and I would also say that you need to think about ruka at new year, it will be very busy and full of russians and the fins and russians are very loud at new year and quiet happily let off fireworks in the streets :)
