As we all frantically search for holiday packages for the October midterm after being given great hope for European travel in the latter part of the year, we’ve all noticed the cost of flights far outweigh the cost of accommodation. I was also hoping to grab a bargain but found it very difficult.

I managed to bag, what I now, realise is a decent deal, from Shannon for Thu, Oct 21- Thu Oct 28^th from Shannon to Tenerife.

For 5 of us (plus baby) we paid €1,666 with 2 x 20kg bags. Dublin for these dates were coming in at nearly double the price. Now, I had booked a 5 star hotel (Bahia Principe Fantasia) nearly a year ago and got it for €2,400 all inclusive so I needed my flights to fit around these dates.

So I’ve put together a few luxury family resorts for you for the same dates (Oct 21-28^th) if you want to go ahead and book. Make sure to choose the option to pay upon arrival and not beforehand- just in case!

Some prices are based on a family of 4 and some on families of 5.
