Is it worth going abroad for 5 nights?

[Rnm62]

Hi everyone,

Looking to just get some sun & a little break away with my partner & 2 children.

We’d be flying very late on the 1st July so that’s basically a day/night gone & flying back very early in the morning on the 7th. So technically would have 5 nights there. Flight duration around 2 hours 45 minutes.

Only have to pay for flights as would be staying in my dads villa, so no extra expense for accommodation. Looking at around £580 for flights.

Wondering if it’s worth it.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Thanks!

Think it depends on how easy the children are and how well they tolerate heat and early morning/late night flights and routine disruptions

To be honest when my son was that age I had a rule of flights only between 11am and 5.30 pm - even though they were a lot more (when available) because dealing with a fed up 2,year old at 7am or 10pm at an airport kind of took the gloss off the break for me.

I went for 4 nights recently

Absolutely worth it

Wouldn't think twice, I've gone long haul for less time (not with kids mind, but would do what you're proposing with them).

I regularly go for 3/4/5 nights

Yes it’s definitely worth it, I’ve done some crazy trips including Cape Town for three nights.
All my breaks/holidays have been worth it.

I think a lot of people who say it’s not worth it end up doing nothing.

We've done a couple of long weekends (3 nights) where there was an easy transfer from the airport and it was definitely worth it . We only ever use our closest UK airport too. The only thing that would make me question a 5 night stay would be if there was s long journey to/from the airport at either end as that adds a lot to your 2.45 hour flight .

Did LA for two nights 😂😂 also did 5 nights in Barbados a few years ago.

daughter just done 36 hours in Copenhagen

Absolutely go!

Well worth it
