I really fancy b*ggering off over the festive period to soak up some sun. I'm considering Thailand as it's accessible, easy and cheap (once you get there) but am looking for other suggestions and recommendations.


Where have people been for a sunny break over Christmas and/ or New Year? Was it worth it or better to wait a few weeks and go later in January when it is cheaper?


Any tips on where to look for good flight deals?

Short trips - Morocco including Essaouira on the coast Granada or Seville (nice in Xmas in Spain, much less commercial and things generally open apart from Xmas eve evening). All t-shirt weather in the day http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/africa/morocco/essaouira/articles/essaouira-morocco-holiday-what-to-see-and-do/


Long haul, India, Cuba, Sri Lanka, Viet Nam, but need a few weeks.


Check with Thompson or Jules Verne for specials and cheapies eg Goa



Great to be away from all the nonsense in the UK at Xmas

Try the Canaries for temps around 18C or more. It doesn't sound a lot but it's much warmer - and, importantly, lighter and drier - than the UK and only four hours away. Lanzarote is a good choice as there's less development and the attractions of the local boy made good, the artist Miro'. easyJet goes to Tel Aviv, so there's always that but it's likely to be more expensive.

Ooh I'd not considered USA....admittedly the politics put me off! But I'm also sunshine chasing so wondering what weather I can expect in Tucson or Miami?


Yes, Lanzarote is great for weather, have been a number of times but I guess I'm looking for potential sea swimming and 18C too cold for me to do that!


Thanks for the travel website tips malumbo, will take a look

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West - this latter flight path affects many of us in South East London - Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Docklands. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft  Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
