Literally booking tonight!!

[Hopingofholiday]

Ahhh!! Plz help fellow MN’s I have this eve to book a holiday…. Long story! Need to be hot. Under 3 hours plane. Accomadation within 1/2 hour of airport. Work your magic!! X many thanks in advance

We’ve done 3 Easter holidays in Portugal, mainly the Algarve, in recent years (Covid aside) and each time it’s been warm enough for pool - as long as it’s heated! - and even some beach days. Last year it was too hot at some points 😂 But Easter is earlier this year so it may be a little cooler. Definitely go for a heated pool though.

Murcia is currently having a heatwave, that's probably within 3 hours

Just back from Fuertaventura and the weather was perfect. Warm enough to use pool( heated) the other pool was very cold. Long beach paddling walks. Cover up needed for evenings sun hat for day time.

Someone obviously spends too much time on AIBU 🤣

This is when travel agents come in useful

Crimea is going to get hot OP.

Have a wonderful time!

What a nice final response from OP. Must be horrible to be happily excited and reaching out for some help and advice and be met with such hurtful comments.

I mean if you aren't going to say something nice then don't bother.

So glad for you OP, hope you find what you are after and have a great time!

Please come and feedback where you book (not looking for tips just nosy!)

OP come back and tell us nice ones where you're going?

Oh do bore off

Yup. Currently I'm half an hour tops inland from Costa Calida. (The warm coast, there's a clue in the name). It was 29 degrees yesterday, and 25 today. Personally I don't need it any hotter than that, but you know what you want
OP.

The weather is currently getting up to speed after a disappointing post Christmas period, which contributed to the lack of tomatoes, salad etc in UK stores.

You can fly into RMU, a really pleasant none stressful airport. 🌴🌞

Yes please tell us where you decide to go.

This is making me irate - Easter isn’t a half term! It’s the end of term school break 😵‍💫 You have 3 children some are almost adults?? How can you still not understand school terms? 😰😫

Malta. It will be low 20s, the flight’s three hours and everywhere is close to the airport.

Agreed, hate it when people call all school holidays half term! Half term is as it says on the tin.

Climate emergency. Don't fly. When
are people going to get this?

I take it you don’t have any children then? As this is the absolute worst thing that you can do for the environment? Worse than taking a thousand flights!

Have a look at holiday pirates for a few ideas. Some good bargains and cheap enough to just give it a go. Personally I'd also look at Eurostar.

For those looking later it's not too late to get one of the amex gold cards (look up how to get the free miles) and if you put a holiday of £5k+ ish on it you should get about 50,000 miles free which would help with the next holiday.

Can be chilly at that time though, I lived there for a few years! Morocco would be a better bet, if all you're after is warmth and beaches you don't need to leave the hotel if the bothering is a worry. I would give all the Med islands a miss so early. We once went to Barcelona in Febriary and it was very warm.

Apologies to OP if I'm wrong but I get the impression from her writing that maybe English isn't her first language; lots of friends who weren't schooled here themselves call every holiday except the long Summer break 'half-term'.

Weird thing to get irate about.

What's the difference 🤷🏻‍♀️

What a brilliant reply. I know OP doesn't need any more suggestions, but I'd love to go to Seville. Apparently it was 27 degrees last week. Or perhaps Madeira - temperature is almost the same all year round apparently.....

In reality, makes way to kitchen to do washing up.

Have a fantastic holiday HopingofHoliday. Would love to know where you chose in the end.

Everyone needs to chill out a bit, bit sad to get irate about a post in the wrong place, or wrongly describing the Easter ‘half term’

scroll on by if you can’t cope with the stress.

I love a holiday, and it’s exciting shopping for one.

OP, try joining a couple of FB groups like this: www.facebook.com/groups/153207178160816/permalink/2535459456602231/

look at ‘late deals’ on Tui, holiday pirates, easyjet holidays.
most pools are cold within a 3 hour flight but some have an indoor pool. Stayed here once over NYE and it was 22 degrees, lovely sun and kids had fun in the indoor pool…lots of cheap restaurants nearby. Beach 15 mins walk www.vilapetra.com/en/

look at Ryanair/easyjet destinations from your nearest airport, book flights then see what booking.com or Airbnb has.

one Easter hols we did 4 nights in Marseilles for £140 easyjet flights, £400 - 3 bedroomed apartment. Spent about £300 on food & taxis/buses. You cannot do Center Parcs in the UK for a family of 4 in the Easter hols for under £1000😁

Just came on to say, have a lovely holiday OP! Sounds like it's been a long time coming. Great suggestions too, well all the helpful ones 🙃

I went to Costa Adeje in tenerife in April. lovely and warm and about half hour from the airport

Christ, who cares?!
