Search holidays by any destination

[Deleted User]

Hello.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm looking for sites where I can search for holidays without a chosen destination, and that compares different dates.


The GF and I are wanting to go on a beach holiday in May sometime. But all the holiday sites (expedia, etc) ask for a specific destination at a specific date.


Are there any sites that let us search "any destination" and don't make us specify a date?


Travel Supermarket is the only one that I've found, but they don't seem to have as much choice as the bigger sites like expedia.


Thanks

Is https://www.holidayhypermarket.co.uk any good?

Thanks Richard.


Just checked it out. Unfortunately they only have 3 holidays available in all of May. And all 3 are out of our price range.

Ok.

Where are you in the UK?

How many nights do you want to go for?

What maximum flight time do you want?

What sort of accommodation and catering do you fancy?

What sort of things don't you want on this holiday?

Hey Richard.


We have to depart from Manchester. Any time in May (think I read that Saturday, Sunday and Monday are the cheapest days to fly).


Somewhere under 5 hours away, with Quiet sunny beaches (i.e. not Zante, Ibiza, etc)


We would like 4 star and up hotels on a 'room only' basis. Preferably, less than £250 per person.


Travel Supermarket found a few, I was just wondering if there are other similar sites that may have more.

Play around with icelolly and onthebeach websites to find something close to your budget.

Don't book with them though. Just use the information to book flights, hotels and transfers separately. You won't get the benefit of the travel package regulations though, because you won't be booking a true package holiday.

Try Skyscanner as well.
For Destination type in Everywhere.
For Dates type in May and choose the full month option.

The list should come up with a list of countries with the cheapest at the top.
Then have a look at the destinations within any particular country.
Once you've found a destination you fancy, then have a look at Booking.com or Agoda or Travel Republic or any other accommodation website you fancy.

You might be better clicking on this link: http://flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/?_ga=1.158056889.2089833062.1407965489

You can click Manchester to go anywhere and put upto 6 weeks of dates in and it will check all flights. They only thing tour operators do is put it together. You can often do it yourself. Trivago are good to compare hotels. Resort hoppa can be good for transfers or I usually just check on Ryanair as they have an option just to check for transfers

I know it's a Greek specialist but https://www.olympicholidays.co.uk have a number of late deals in their deals section for your price e.g. 5th May to chania on western Crete for £174 including transfers and bags on day flights. I'd book now! Crete is about best weather wise so early in season

https://www.loveholidays.com allows you to search for any destination.

with Quiet sunny beaches (i.e. not Zante, Ibiza, etc)

Both Zante and Ibiza are large islands with a number of quiet resorts with fantastic beaches.
