Hi all. My husband and I are looking at going on a cheap holiday with our 11 month old in February - a cheap last minute deal ideally. We were thinking of going to the Canaries (nice weather, short flight, no jet lag!), but have no idea where to start in terms of which holiday company/which resort/which island. Does anyone have any advice for us?

Travel City Direct are usually really good for cheap family holidays and as everyone on here will know I've been ranting and raving about their floridababy.co.uk website and all tips on travelling with children so they're defintiely child focussed. Not sure about the last minute deals but it's worth a look? They do Florida, Caribbean and Egypt I think.


Good luck x

We have just got back from Fuerteventura with our 11 month old. It was lovely, about 24 degrees every day and very family friendly. We booked direct with ryanair - they were fine and on time - and booked a self catering apartment through booking.com. All very straightforward. We got a taxi from the airport but it's very easy to book car hire too. There is a hertz there for example. The two best resorts for families are caleta de fuste and correlejo. Beaches are lovely, restaurants are very welcoming and it is generally very relaxing.
I second fueteventura - we had a brilliant week there last March with our then 2-year old. Really child friendly and a lovely vibe. We booked through Thomas Cook for Costa Coletta and got an all inclusive ridiculously cheap. Yes it was a resort and a wee bit cheesy but there was loads of families there and I would go back in a heartbeat.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
