To wonder if this perfect holiday exists anywhere?

Like so many in the UK, I’m desperate to get away and have some sunshine.

I’ve got 3 kids, a husband and I’m limited to half term holidays, like completely limited, as I’m a teacher too, so not even chipping a day off here or there either side of the term.

I would love to take my family abroad over half term but our total budget is £4K. I can’t seem to be able to do it. If we go Tui etc, then we need two rooms. If we try for an Airbnb abroad, flights are too expensive for the 5 of us. We live near Birmingham so that would be our best airport.

Can it be done and could some incredible person help me please? Our half term dates are 26th May for a week and everything is sooo expensive.

Don’t go this year, the best spots will probably be taken, save your money and go somewhere nicer next year. Better to spend £6k on a wonderful holiday than £4k on a shit one.

We're going to majorca in May half term. Booked a villa with air bnb, ryanair flights. Hasn't cost us much more than 2k all in for 2 adults 2 kids, although we were organised and booked the day the flights came out.

Do you need a package.?
I'd look at Skyscanner and find flights.
Then Booking.com and look for Apartments/ villas/ bungalows that have two bedrooms.. we always need two bedrooms and never have a problem.
Somewhere like this?

No one needs to go to a 2* with 2.5 trip advisor rating.

Have you tried going into an travel agent? I know they're not so popular anymore but they can do all the hard work of finding somewhere for you.

Everything is so expensive nowadays!! But I found this website, TransferTravel.com ... https://www.transfertravel.com/ ... I've used it to buy flights for work on there so might be worth looking at for holidays. Hope this helps and you find something x
