Last minute teletext holidays... [+23 rep for help!]

[Ostinato]

Hey guys.

As of yet I'm not going anywhere on holiday this summer as my mum just had a baby...

Anyway, me and my cousin were talking last night and were thinking of going away a wee week somewhere in July. I was looking on the teletext holidays website and there's some quite cheap last minute stuff.

So I was just wondering if anyone has ever went on one of these and whether or not they turned out alright... Also basically, just how they work in general lol.

Cheers :)

you can book via teletexts website instead of through your tv.

skytravel is also quite cheap

if you dont have a date in mind, Thomsons (http://www.thomsonauctions.co.uk/) do an auction website. its reliable and they are very cheap.

edit: i havent booked via teletext before but i dont think i would as i think you can get the same deals on their website. also if you book online, you sometimes get online discount.

Yeh I was meaning on the website, not the actual real teletext service itself, lol - come on I'm a bit more technologically advanced than that! :P haha

lmao. well the links i gave you, i have used the sites before for numerous holidays. if its just you and someone else and you are not too fussy about the board basis - then you can really get cheap holidays on those sites.

I went to spain on one and it was great. No problems at all exept a delay but that was nothing to do with the holiday. We was also talking to a family who went to the same holiday with the same airline and they paid nearly 3 times as much as us because they booked a year in advance.

Thanks a lot guys! Just need to find out the week it is he's off work and hopefully get it sorted!

We're both quite skint at the moment so trying to keep it as cheap as poss! :P

I didn't go personally but my auntie and cousin went. Their holiday turned out to be the same place we went and they thought it was a good hotel etc. It was just a walk from the beach and they had no trouble from the holiday.

i havent booked via teletext, but i would suggest
www.lastminute.com or book a flight to wherever you want with ryanair/easyjet, and the book a hotel, i think that will work out cheaper in a way, depends on the destination aswell I believe..

ILY for that site.

Personally, We've have never booked with them.

But couple of mates have used them more than once with good deals/offers and they loved the holidays.

I would go for it unless you can get something cheaper!

www.Expedia.co.uk is good apparently :S

Expedia is pretty expensive, theres some last minute holidays at www.thomsonholidays.com and www.lastminute.com

[Ostinato]

Yeh Expedia is a bit expensive, but so is that lastminute one...

Rent a car and go on a road trip and you’ll have all these adventures where you wake up in India and someone tries to eat you n unexpectedly u get adopted by aliens and you see your suddenly 90 years of age and u wake up and its all a hallucination k?

On topic: Try going somewhere far, as if its only you and your cousin it will be cool with nothing much to be concerned about as I imagine you both get along quiet fine, so try going somewhere where its truly diverse but you can have a superior time, and I don’t know where this post is going so erm, good night lolol.
