Weekend's away!

Hello,

Me,my fiance, his brother and his fiance are planing a weekend away to celebrate our anniversary (ours is 6yrs theirs is 10yrs).
We would have to leave on the 4th November ( or early on the 5th November ) from Manchester Airport and return on the Monday (preferably the evening time!).

Any ideas on cheap flights (preferably not to Ireland as we have been numerous times before) ?
We were thinking of somewhere that isnt also going to be terrible expensive when we get there.

Please can anyone help or advise?

    Florence - you can fly to Pisa and then either get the train (cheaper) or Terravision coach (slightly less travelling time) into Florence. It's a gorgeous city with so much to see and do, with plenty of restaurants for all budgets. I was there for a month, but OH came over to visit me and we stayed at the Hotel Carravagio http://en.venere.com/hotels_florence/san_lorenzo/hotel_caravaggio.html which is really close to both the station and most of the main sights.

    You might find some good fares on https://www.jet2.com from Manchester Airport.

  • My boyfriend and I have recently been to Tallinn. It was absolutely beautiful and very cheap. You can get Easyjet or Ryanair flights. We also went to Riga which is even cheaper but not quite as pretty (still lovely though). I don't know what the weather will be like in either place in November, probably very cold.
  • Thanks everyone.....i am going to have to a look and see if i can find a good deal!
  • With Jet2.co.uk it says "This route is available until 2 Oct 2005" and wont give me a quote. We wanted to go on the 4th-7th November.

    Maybe it's just a summer route - OR they're finding that route unprofitable so are stopping it on 2nd Octber?

  • bratislava in slovakia, poland, prague are all very reasonable and very very cheap when you get there. I would recommend Poland in particular to the girlies as designer shops such as Prada, etc are dirt cheap!
