Not wishing to be accused of promoting Ryanair, but myself and family booked our summer holidays to Tenerife last night from Shannon. The flights are only about €160 return per person which I have to say is pretty good value for July to sunnier climes. We also booked a hotel room at hotels.com for about €300(per Room) for 7 days, and in comparison to a package holiday we ended up saving about €800 for a group of 4 adults and 3 kids.
As I say I'm not trying to advertise ryanair but I do understand how expensive summer holidays is with the kids so I hope this may help somebody...If not, never mind!!
Thanks
PS Just noticed that the same flights are €100 more expensive per person out of Dublin for the same dates. 6th July to 13th July.
