Where is hot in October, 3.5hrs flight and 30m transfer

[hollyblueivy]

As the title says where is hot for October half term - short flight and short transfer (up to one hour private transport)

I'm thinking Majorca - palma nova

Menorca

Corfu

Portugal

Costa del sol

Costa Blanca

Are any of these a yes or no? Any others can you think of please ?

I've been to Majorca a few times mid October. Usually about 19-24C. But I don't do pool holidays there so more walking about in shorts / dresses and stopping for drinks and lunch etc. Probably a bit too cold for typical pool holiday in swimwear all day.

Cyprus I went in November and it was degrees still, 4.5 hour flight

I've been to all those places in October half term. Spent it on the beach and came home with tans.

We went to grab canaria in Oct couple years back and it was hot. 4h flight too so not far off what you're asking for.
Also, turkey but is a further flight if you can stretch a bit further away

Any places / resorts that had a nice short transfer?

Gran Canaria **

Cyprus
Sicily
Greek Islands
Cape Verde
Tenerife

Seville or València would probs be my pick.

Tenerife Costa Adeje.

I went to North Cyprus and we landed in Turkey for 1 hour, stayed on plane, then set off again for North Cyprus. From Gatwick about 4 1/2 hours flight.

Yes you can get hot weather in any of those places. But you most certainly can’t guarantee it.

with those flight times you’re only sort of guaranteed in Morocco or canaries.

I find it odd you’ll go 3.5 hours but not 4 🤷‍♀️

All those places are unreliable in October. While I wouldn't want a long haul flight the extra half hour to Lanzarote would be worth it to me for guaranteed sun.

If you want guaranteed "hot" weather rather than pleasantly warm weather, especially if it's the end of October, the nearest resort would be Sharm-el-Shiekh

That's very specific... is it colder in the rest of the island 😂

"That's very specific... is it colder in the rest of the island 😂"

Yes, it's cloudier and generally cooler and breezier in the North. That was not my comment but I agree

Ideally I wanted to say 3 hours so pushed it to 3.5
To try to be reasonable.

Is that a short transfer

Canaries

We went to Seville in early October once and it was in the high 30’s the whole time!

and? What is the point of writing this comment? It was 30 in October in England once.

Seville - the frying pan of Spain.

Costa Adeje is about 20 mins from the airport.

But @hollyblueivy an extra hour in the air really doesn’t make a difference really?

Seville’s average temp is 26 degrees in October and 20 in November - OP considers hot 18-23 so pretty much guaranteed!

"Is that a short transfer"

10-15 mins in a taxi to adeje, Los cristianos and golf del sur (quieter)

Tenerife 4.5 hours depending on what airport you're flying from. Hot all year round.
