    Hi, I've heard of people getting cheap sun holidays and was wondering where did people get them and how long before they were leaving did they book them. There is 4 of us looking to go away 23rd August and our budget is tight so max to pay for the holiday €350 each. All suggestions would be greatly appprecaited.

    or get cheap flight to tenerif with ryanair and book accom seperate

    Cassidys Travel Blanchardstown often advertise amazing low prices in the lower seasons.
    One example was E199 for a week in Crete about a month ago....but that was just one of quite a few offers under eE300.

    I am looking for a cheap holiday too but for September.

    Best so far I have got is flying to Malloraca (sp?) with Ryanair - €240 incl all charges. A villa for a week £340 GBP. Works out just over €600 for 2 for the week. Getting somwhere cheaper to stay will obviously bring it down more.

    hi everybody in my experience either plan ahead and get a cheap aerlingus flight (or ryanair but only if you can keep your bag under 15 kg) and book a hotel on something like alpharooms.com this also helps if you know a particular resort you want to go, to weed out the good from the bad failing that check your local budgettravel every 2 days really cheap hollidays sell out fast !

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I have tried most of these places. I think I may just wait closer to the time because we not not fussy on where we go just has to be 23rd
