unbelievably cheap flights, about £180 retunr from 8th to 15th Aug for 2 adults and 2 kids, but, quick look and hotel prices are expensive

Seems like a good deal at first but half decent hotels in Ibiza in high season are very expensive. The balearics have become a lot dearer over the last few years since people have stopped going to Turkey, Egypt, etc. Also don't forget to factor in the tourism tax which is another couple of euros pp per night.

Jet2.com don't fly from gatwick......

That's from Stansted, not Gatwick.

Cheap flights in July & August from most Scottish Airports as well, its the accomodation which is the killer

Good grief how did I get that wrong!
