    Don't really mind where we go - SPAIN looks to be cheapest - would prefer LGW to STN tbh but not a showstopper
    Travel Dates are FIXED
    Don't mind whether two rooms/apartments (4+3) or three rooms (2+2+3)
    Am assuming Self Catering is cheapest - does not have to be though
    Total Budget is £2800 (£400 per head)

    Here is best find so far (still over budget)

    Hi try https://www.skyscanner.net or the search on this site for cheap flights - the only charters are from manchester so they are no good - also try STA, Trailfinders etc - Good Luck x

    Hi, my daughter set me a challenge of finding her and myself an all inclusive package to anywhere for 1 week on 1st July 2013 (can be flexible by only 1 day either side). We have a budget of £300 each and have noticed that our price range has flights that are late in the day on the first day and really early on the last meaning that we lose the first and last day of the holiday.

    Best quote is above, can anyone help us? We don't mind where we go as long as its warm, has a pool and we can get to shops/beach etc.

    Thank you.
