You will get around 20 deals a week via e-mail. Theres some great prices if you’re quick, they don’t last long...... It's decent for sure but some of the routes they offer are bizarre to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for somewhere warm in Jan/Feb that's a bit different and doesn't cost a fortune. Isn't that where middle aged women go to meet folk And as an added bonus you may well get killed?

Yeah apparently a couple of the resorts are like a grannies Pattaya You can get a week including flights and accommodation for about £500 to Kotu Beach which looks decent. From there you can do a mini Safari which is about 25% of what it costs in Kenya. From what I've read - the Gambia isn't a particularly dangerous place to travel either.

Quiet week or two away with the wife for Caribbean style weather with shorter flights and no time zone issues, quite decent. But otherwise, not really. Gambia looks interesting and I've sent a few there this year and had good reports : might go myself sometime next yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted December 10, 2018 Members Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Costa del Crime. Considered heading into Portugal for the European Nations semi and final but a wise England head off here has had me re-think and I'll watch on the big screen in Puerto Banus or San Pedro de Alcantara with the latter day Kray twins and other interested parties.

Youri McAnespie Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Just booked flights (Ryanair) for a cheeky cheapo January week in Las Palmas... (Manchester-Gran Canaria) £5 out £19.99 return £24.99 all in - Bargain! I also, being a big spender, paid the £6 supplement e.w. for two cabin bags and priority boarding, but the more miserly could go full tramp and go with the free permissable 'smaller' cabin bag I presume there's other flight bargains with Ryanair going, but I'd guess none where it's 22c today.

FML! How will they make money on that??? Great price. Still contemplating Fuerteventura in Feb. Mrs finally secured a permanent job again, starting early Jan, so money worries eased.

Youri McAnespie Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) You have to wonder... Not seen £5 flights (albeit with carrier bag sized 'luggage' allowance) in years. The return flights have shifted from sparrow fart in the morning to around 10:30 am an' all so that's another €25 saved on taxi fare for misers like me. Never been to Fuerteventura, I think that would be a family/villa with pool type affair, heard it's very quiet.
