Help? | Hiya,
My friend went to Barcelona recently for £300 all inclusive with her hubby, she actually stayed just outside Barcelona but said it was lovely. What she done was searched the Airports websites cheap deals then she went back to the Internet and got the phone numbers of the site then saw if they could beat it which they did, then she chose the one she wanted.
If that seems like to much hassle try these websites below or best bet is to book your flights with Easy Jet and use the websites just for your accomodation as that will be a lot cheaper.
Hope these help www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk www.lastminute.com www.citybreaksdirect.co.uk www.holidayhypermarket.co.uk www.expedia.co.uk |

I'm Currently Feeling: | When we go away we tend to just book our flights and find a hotel when we get there. It works out a lot cheaper that way but I guess also depends on how comfortable you are with the area you're going to. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I was told no flying in the third trimester. But I think a lot of it depends on the airline as well, as to whether or not they will allow you to fly later on in pregnancy. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Seriously wouldnt recommend flying after 28 weeks. It is so uncomfortable and too much hassel to get permission to fly and the risk and stress just isnt worth it!
You can get some really good lat deals and barcelona doesnt have to be expensive as the girls said above.
If you do fly - dont forget your flight socks and mega mega hydration! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I rang the hospital midwife & she said it's fine- especially if it's a short flight!
I checked & most airlines are ok as long as u have a doc certificate with u...
Dont know if i should go for the week at end of may now?
Or stick to a weekend (9th-11th May) (as I will be 27 weeks then) | | | | Status: Offline
