Any cheap last minute single holiday offers out there?

Posted 19th Jun 2023
I'm looking to go away on my own for a week's holiday to the coast - around 16 July. Want to get a deal as cheap as possible (really can only afford £300) but hard to find anything affordable when you add the single occupancy supplement and the peak season. Have been considering Turkey, Portugal, Greek islands and Spain but the cheapest I've found is flying from Birmingham, £480 staying B&B basis in a hotel in Turkey - with Jet2. Also includes transfers and baggage. That's with a solo £30 discount.

Would like to explore the local area, visiting tourist attractions, historical sites (if any) or walking in the countryside.

Have considered the UK as an alternative but with accommodation higher in many hotels and train travel, it all works out more expensive than going abroad.

Are there any sites or destinations I should think about? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks. I'll have a look at those. I didn't realise Teletext Holidays was still going.

    Booking.com is another place to look.

    Thanks for your recommendation. I think of looking for just hotels on Booking.com but see they offer hotels and flights as well. I'll have a search on that.

    Thanks. I keep looking at their site but can't find anything so far for date or budget The offers have all been for 2 adults sharing a room. When I select one adult the price goes up - often by double.

    You can alternatively package a holiday through the site (selecting a hotel and flights) but I've found that prices are around £500.

    Thanks for sharing that. That's a great offer for a package holiday. Can't imagine getting any cheaper than that. The earliest I can depart though is 16 July and I can only fly from Birmingham or London airports.
