I booked a flight with easy jet back in July to gran canaria in there winter sale,four of us in feb 09 for a week only £300 return. I had a email yesterday from them advertising a winter sale so i looked at our flight and it is now £555 this is still a bargain make sure you a signed up for emails from these companies and book asap WITH CREDIT CARD

I would also like to comment on easyjet speedy boarding THINK BE 4 YOU BUY i flew from gatwick to g/c in aug the plane is loaded from the front only,So speedy borders go first my guess 30 in total then B and C groups.when me the wife and two kids got on we went straight to the back and all sat together no problem on the way back even better i got an emergency exit seat this would have cost us £38

Hi Darren

I was searching the web for travel websites to advertise my travel agency business and came accross your post. Unfortunately I am not up and running yet, otherwise I would’ve been able to seach a late deal for you.
What I can suggest is Croatia. It is really beautiful and not that expensive
I’ve found the holiday below:
1 x Bed & Breakfast – Single Room (A) @ £454.91 for the Total package
Flights
Manchester to Dubrovnik
Depart 14th Sep 2008, 08:40, Arrive 14th Sep 2008, 12:35
Flights
Dubrovnik to Manchester
Depart 21st Sep 2008, 13:35, Arrive 21st Sep 2008, 15:40

Hotel description
The Bon Repos complex is situated next to the sea, in Korcula, Croatia. It is consisted of two hotels offering guests a modern environment, the same comfort and services. The comfortable rooms, the amazing view, the pool, the tavern, the 3 bars, the 2 tennis courts, the playground and the other hotel amenities contribute to enjoy a marvellous holiday. It is the ideal destination for families and couples looking for an entertaining and relaxing stay. The hotel is 3 km from the town centre and approximately 140 km from the airport of Dubrovnik.

Another very excellent value for money destination is Tunisia – especially Sousse. It is really affordable and the Hotels are right on the beach. There are loads to do, from camel rides into the desert to visiting the markets in the medina.

If you are interested in the Croatia holiday, let me know and I’ll give you the the travel website I found it on

Darren, wouldn’t it be wiser to pay with credit card?

P.s. not keen on Turkey as I need to research/never been before, standard of hotels for my budget seems not too good.

Ok, I am struggling..

Thinking 13/09 Majorca, Southern Spain, Algarve, somewhere warm. I’m even open to Greek Islands again as I just want to get away for a week. £300 budget, but prepared to go a little higher.

Anyone?

Will pay TODAY with debit card.
