Would it be cheaper to get flights then book b&b separately for summer hol with 2 young children?
We live in the UK and want to go somewhere in Europe with good weather and a beach but the cheapest package deal we can get costs £850 for 4 of us! Our kids our 6 months and 3 years
For the past 4 years, I have booked flights and accommodation separate. I have found this method to be a lot cheaper than travel agents, don't forget they are a business and therefore take their cut from the final price.
I personally use Easyjet for flights, although some prices may still be reasonable for less popular places, you are best booking the flights are the start of the 6 months window.
For accommodation, I shop around on-line for the best price, you would be amazed at the difference in prices.
I tend to check Thomsons, Bedbookers, Alpharooms, Go2Spain, Travelrepublic.
Your best bet is to get a final price for the cheapest date for both flight and accommodation, then before booking, pop into a travel agent and asking them what their price is.
Hope you get somewhere!………
hi you might get the flights but can never be guaranteed on a place over there. and you would not like to be stoke with kids and know where to stay. always check where you are going then find a place before you go

You can go to the airline website and see how much prices are, and then you can go to http://www.hostelworld.com or a similar accommodation site and see how much you need to pay for accommodation. You'd have to do quite a bit of research, but once you find a cheap flight and suitable accommodation, book them both quickly.
Travel agents are definitely more expensive, I think you'll find.

The way I'd do it is to use one of the low cost airlines, and stay in either Majorca or La Pineda on the Costa Dorada.
Majorca has something for everyone and is geared for family holidays.
La Pineda has a great beach and enough shops, bars etc, to keep you busy for the length of your holiday.
There's a water park in the centre, ans Salou's only up the road.
