Cheap holidays.

Post by bfccrazy » Tue Jan 23, 2018 8:34 pm

Anybody any good sites to book a cheap little all inclusive holiday for 2 people.

Looking at a random cheap break anywhere in 2nd week of July with some sunshine and a pool.

Yeah, we're booked to go in June for that - what time you want the taxi to pick you up? Also which side of the bed would you like Cutsy?

Haha, tell me about it - I'm not expecting some £100 getaway but it's only time the missus could get off from work. Found a trip to marakech but just seeing if there are any hidden gem sites I haven't checked before booking.

Pick were you can get cheap flights to and get hotel separate from Alpha rooms.
That way you can pick a decent hotel.

On the Beach Dealfinder. Failing that, Skyscanner for a flight and trivago for the accommodation

Flight scanner for cheap flights then find the accommodation to marry with the dates/location. Easiest and by far cheapest way normally. You also have more control over your booking.

Check out HolidayPirates.

They basically just post random deals from around the web,
They tend to get some really good bargains on there, went a week in Majorca with the mrs for around £90pp for flights and accommodation last year, was spot on.

I like holidayguru, you can sign up for a newsletter and when any good deals come up they email, usually once every one to two weeks, I have found they find some very good value holidays over the last couple of years.
