Continuing the theme: A family of 4 looking for a cheeky week in half-term could fly with ThomsonFly from East Midlands to Dalaman on Thursday 22nd October* at 1740 for £1482.92
Alternatively, on Latedeals.co.uk you can get the same flights, get transfers and a week self catering at Club Candan in Marmaris for over £500 less - £966.12 (yes, I would ditch the accommodation and transfers).
Bottom line is if you're looking for late deals on flights, check package holidays too.
(*both kids have an inset day on the Friday so they will miss about an hour of school maximum - so shoot me)
