Posted here for traffic. Where is a good site online to find a good reasonable priced holiday abroad for me and my two children. Single parent and first holiday abroad for the children so looking for something cheap. TIA.

Generally the earlier that you book flights, the cheaper they are.
Look on
Sky scanner
EasyJet
Ryanair
Jet2

Thankyou, I will have a look on them. Do they offer full package deals? Or do you need to book everything separately?x

onthebeach.co.uk is the cheapest out of Jet2, Loveholidays and most online agencies including Tui and Hayes.

You can search by all inclusive and set lots of preferences.

We chose to use them last year having been Jet2 devotees and found them really great with prices hundreds lower compared to everyone else for the same holiday.

Watch their prices - they can often look ok until you realise how many extras you may need to add on. On the Beach are owned by TUI - and I have often noticed that by the time I have looked at the add on's, and then knocked off the TUI "discounts" the prices may be the same - or TUI can sometimes be cheaper (if you hit the right deals at the right time).

TUI have just launched a new app and it has a number of discounts and special deals from time to time that cut back even further if you see them. And there is also something new called Tui Tuesday (www.tui.co.uk/holidays/tui-tuesdays) which has 24 hour only deals every Tuesday.

I don't work for them, honest, but I am a holiday watcher, always looking for good deals for me and my friends....

Jet2. I go back to them over and over.
They get extremely good reviews for a tour operator and I find them more competitive than any other. I usually try to compare doing separate bookings but it's always been cheaper to book a package

If its your first time abroad, I would buy a package rather than booking everything separately, that way if anything goes wrong the company should help you. A half or full board package will probably work out cheaper than paying to eat out every night. All inclusive may work out cheaper still, I wouldn't think you will be doing too much sightseeing with 2 young kids, and a larger hotel with buffet meals will have a wider choice of food, so you will always find something they will eat. Jet2 usually include everything, including hold luggage and transfers. Some of the others don't. First Choice are part of Tui, but everything is AI. It might be worth going to your local travel agent and asking fir their suggestions.

Holiday Hypermarket sister company of TUI is definitely the cheapest. You’ll get a package deal here.

I’ve never used Jet2.

Out of the two, Jet2 has the best reviews. TUI is low down on the list when it comes to Customer Services.

I wouldn’t touch On the Beach or Love Holidays with a barge pole.
