    https://www.thomson.co.uk is an easy to use site.

    You can search price/location/airport/destination, with just a few cliks.

    Then, on each of the pages that come up, within your selection, they have a box with quite usefull info,about the location, too.

    THEN, if you like what you find, you can re'search, for maybe better prices, in other sites.

    Although, I'm a fan of Thomas Cook, personaly - 'cos their credit card avoids 'booking fees' & earns best discount, on holidays, via points - but thats for another post!!

    Njoy!!

    I find the best sites to search for holidays is either:

    http://www.searchbargainholidays.com/ or http://ww.expedia.co.uk
    You can compare prices of all operators and they are normally up to date.

    However once you've found the holiday you want, find a firm that'll give you free insurance or a further discount by looking on teletext.

    I've been going on last minute holidays for quite a few years. For the date you want to go (not in school holidays), as long as you're pretty flexible as to where you go, I'd be inclined to wait until a week or so before and you may get an even better deal than those in the above post.

    Personally I wouldn't recomment Costa Brava. Costa del Sol, any of the Balearic island or definitely the Canaries are much nicer.

    At this time of year you'll definitely get somewhere
    Have a nice time!
