Europe
Short flights, no jet lag, and the widest choice we sell — from a two-hour hop to a Greek island to a Christmas market in the Baltics.

May, June, September and October beat high summer almost everywhere on the continent.
The same resort in late May costs a third less than in August, the sea is warm enough from June, and you can actually walk around a city without hiding indoors at midday. August is the month to avoid if you possibly can — the Mediterranean is at its hottest and fullest, much of Italy and Spain closes for the middle of the month, and prices peak everywhere at once.
Beach, city and mountain, with the months each works best.
The only genuinely warm European winter sun. Four hours, same time zone.
Four coasts, and none of them is Magaluf. Two hours and short transfers.
Pick the airport before the hotel — Heraklion and Chania are 2.5 hours apart.
Atlantic rather than Med, so the sea is cooler than people expect.
Pebble beaches and a walled city. Dubrovnik is two nights, not two weeks.
Book the Colosseum and the Vatican before you book the flights.
The best-value great city in Europe, and the prettiest Christmas market setting.
Altitude decides the snow. We quote passes, hire and school up front.
Go the last week of November — same markets, half the crowds.
Only the Canaries, properly — 21–23°C in January. Everywhere else on the continent is mild at best.
Mid-January to early February, the first half of May, and late September into October. All avoid school holidays.
Yes. A GHIC covers state medical treatment but not repatriation, cancellation or lost baggage. It isn't a substitute.
Yes, and for Paris and Brussels we'll price both. From the south-east the train usually wins door to door.
Guide prices across the region, from a short-haul week to a full circuit.
Two airports, and picking the right one matters more than the hotel.
By rail, ninety minutes between each.
The only part of Europe that works in January.
Three stops with a boat between each.
The cheapest city break we sell.
Corfu's water at a third of the price.
Guide prices, per person, based on two sharing, including return flights, accommodation and transfers. They indicate what a holiday of this type has typically cost and are not an offer or a quotation. Your price depends on dates, party, board basis, departure airport and availability, and is confirmed in writing before any payment is taken.
Ready-built and fully reshapeable around your dates.
