    Hi

    Looking to go to Barcelona for 2 weeks at the start of July. Flights from Dublin are nearly 300 Euros. Am I better off waiting until a few months before or should I just bite the bullet.

    I can go to LBA and make it much cheaper but I'll be travelling with kids and I'd prefer to go to Direct.

    When July comes around you're into school holidays and you're heading in to peak travel time for families. I'd probably book now.

    I have travelled via the UK to Cyprus before during the summertime as the flights were much cheaper. The flights did involve low cost airlines so were not connecting flights in the sense I was not protected if I missed one of the legs of the flights. It's a risk you take but I probably wouldn't do it with a few kids. The costs would mount quickly if you miss one of the flights and probably wipe out any of the savings of going via the UK.

    Cant go wrong with hotels.com or bookings.com Difficult to give you recommendations as each person will have different budgets/standards/preferences/etc.

    True, I just thought someone might have their own experience to relate.
