Families 1st abroad holiday during school hols.

Hi,


OK people some of you must be in the know....


Kids are both school age and we cant take them out.


Whats the best sites to get an overseas holiday ( first time we all have passports this year ).


Theres 4 of us ( 5 & 10 Y.O. ) and everything start from £1650 upwards in aug. Is this about right? This is from the BIG holiday sites. Anyone know of any other sites that offer deals etc?


Cheers guys....

    you could try and looking at flights and hotels/apartments separately
    You can use skyscanner and find the best dates in the month to travel and then look for accommodation/transfers separately

    Have a look at ryanair flights to Reus and accommodation at Salou and see what total prices you get.

  • What about going self catering in an apartment?

    Holiday pirates seem to post a lot of cheap deals, but I've never used them.

    My lovely neighbours had a rubbish experience with LowCostHolidays so based on their experience I would steer clear.

    When booking ensure they are ATOL/ABTA registered, you've got adequate travel insurance and you've read all info and have done your research.

    I find Tripadvisor and similar very helpful/informative.

    Without sounding harsh, you get what you pay for......but if you're willing to search and keep your eyes open, I'm sure you will find something within budget that meets your requirements. GOOD LUCK
  • I think the first thing you should ask yourself is, what kind of holiday do we fancy?

    Lazing on a beach all day, sightseeing, daredevil action adventure?

    Do you want to stay in one place, or travel to different places?

    Ryanair to Reus from many airports is not showing up on their website, the option has gone to book...........can't find anything online to say if they will be flying there next year or not.

    Ryanair may be finalising a deal with Airport and local tourism government before putting summer flights on sale.
