Michael W Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Malta in late February, which will hopefully at least be a reasonable temperature. Paris in March (3rd time lucky on this one). Also have a shitload of Virgin miles to use, having fretted for the last 18 months as to what I was going to do with them. Held off converting and I have enough for 3 returns in PE, alrhough still need to pay the taxes. Hopefully the reopening of Transatlantic travel will stop them going bust so I can use them. So looking at the US/Canada as well. Edited September 22, 2021 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hopefully Greece again. Had a look at the nice cheap hotel in Crete as long as the sea's open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Had Vegas, Yosemite and San Francisco cancelled last year, so I’ll hopefully get that sorted for May/June We are similar - had Costa Rica booked last year but hope to go next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that we drove to Yosemite for a few nights, then onto Death Valley and finally back to Vegas. Make sure you see the Grand Canyon when you are in Vegas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Honeymoon next year. Looking at South Africa then onto Maldives/other beach type resort for a bit, but doesn’t look like getting from South Africa to Maldives is particularly easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Might have a wee trip to Odessa, connecting flights from Inverness to Luton. Might need an overnight stop in Luton though.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like other than from India/Sri Lanka, the Maldives are an absolute pain in the arse to get to. Love the look of the place, but definitely want something more adventurous/exciting for before it, which is looking hard to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense in a straight line anyway, somewhere I've meant to go for a while. This might be a bit over the top but could give you an idea for what to look for.. https://www.turquoiseholidays.co.uk/destinations/indian-ocean/maldives/oman-the-maldives-sensational-six-senses/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We often leave it late booking anything, particularly during the Easter/October holidays.This year is no different - just checked for 2 April and the prices are just ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Following last night's result will be visiting Glasgow ca. 24th/25 March. Hopefully a 2nd home game on the 28th/29th. If not then will take in the away 'final' on the way back to Germany. After the draw next week on Friday, will no doubt be doing a lot of bookings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there won't be any more lockdown preventing me from going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Where abouts is warm (25 or so) March time outwith canaries? Good time to go to Caribbean? Was looking at Antigua for an overdue honeymoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Well tempted to book refundable tickets to Cape Town while prices are cheap with a gamble that Omicron turns out to be a damp squib. P.S. Turns out they're not cheap yet, where I looked anyway. Edited November 27, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking at Antigua for an overdue honeymoon Mexico, Cape Verde and most of the Caribbean will be fine. There's also the UAE (not my cup of tea tbqh). You can also still get flights to India and Sri Lanka as the monsoon season doesn't usually start earlier than May. Egypt is also nice at this time of year - we had our honeymoon in Sharm in early April and it was comfortable without being overly hot.The biggest issue is the price of longhaul flights right now as well as actually getting a direct flight. Flying midweek is definitely less expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essaouira might be more honeymoon territory but slightly cooler being by the sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
