Get away this May and enjoy the sun while Britain still has none!
The school holidays are the most popular time of year for families and teachers to seek some adventure or relaxation, but you don’t have to travel with kids to enjoy the great deals available. With summer just around the corner (we hope), May half-term is the best time to book a last-minute holiday for some pre-summer sun.
From Trinidad to Thailand, you can explore everything from far-flung beaches to ancient temples and much more. Send the children back to school with fantastic stories to tell.
Some of the best new deals available include (prices accurate at time of writing):
