We weren't originally planning on going abroad this year...now we are 😊 We have two weeks off work in August, 2nd/3rd week (dates not changeable) and would like to go somewhere for a week or ten days. Family of 5, 2 adults, 2 teens, 6 year old.
Haven't been abroad for 3 years and the prices now are an eye opener 😳 Holidays I would have paid £3k for a couple of years ago now seem to be double or more.
Seeing as we're late booking for this August anyway, we're wondering whether to risk leaving it super late to book in the hope of getting a bargain...like leaving it until the week before. Two days before even.
Anyone done this? Are we likely to meet disaster if we try and book at the beginning of August for less than a week away?
We have very few specific wants...Somewhere hot and a suitable resort (safety/activities etc) for teens and a 6 year old, decent rating/reviews - that's pretty much it. We'll fly from any airport in England or Wales, go to any Country, All Inclusive or Self Catering, 7-12 days duration. Not concerned if we have to sit seperately on the flight as long as 6 year old was with either me or DH obviously.
Anyone done this and how silly would we be to leave it this late? Are we even likely to get a deal or are we going to end up having to spend the same just with much less choice?
