    I am hoping to book a sun holiday for 2 people for 2 weeks in July/August this year. I am on a budget and am wondering where is the cheapest place to book? Not the actual country but the travel agents? Any suggestions of a cheap destination would also be appreciated.

    You are travelling peak season...AFAIK the Canary Islands still have tax free status so probably one of the cheaper destinations once you are there, Mainland Spain & Portugal should also be good value

    Best thing to do is price up the costs of booking your own flights, tranfers, travel insurance & accom, then compare to what a TA has to offer (either online or highstreet) online tends to be cheaper, the usual suspects would be Falcon/First Choice, Sunway etc

    Factor in the other associated costs like airport parking, car hire etc

    Im going on hols to Lanzarote in Aug, and checked out lots of travel agents on line, found Broadway Travel to be by far the cheapest by up to E500... I just booked the hotel with them and booked flights myself...

    i would recommend skyscanner.ie and start looking up airports in spain for the prices of flights directly, see which airport is cheapest to get to and then look up accommodation separately. lisbon in portugal is cheaper to fly into than faro

    otherwise, i'd hold off for a last minute deal with the travel agents (a week or so before you travel)
