Hi.
DH is still waiting to hear if his job can be covered in August so we can go away during school holidays.
Our children are 13 and 18 and we don't need adjoining rooms or a block of 4 seats on the plane.
Also, we are wary of flying due to the wait at passport control - an extra hour of standing would be a major pain (literally) due to physical weakness.

Have we left it too late to book?
Husband wants Tenerife but I think anywhere we can get in, with good TripAdvisor reviews, will do.

Any suggestions for where to look? Websites & destinations.

And Santa Cruz/Costa Adeje recent experiences?

We went to Costa Adeje a couple of years ago. Just me and DH, didn't rate it tbh.

What airports can you fly from?

Sorry just seen

I like Luton, but that's because it is the easiest to drive too. Parking cheaper than Gatwick.

Palma airport (Mallorca) was super easy 2 weeks ago, literally no queues!
