Hang out in the Canaries this summer

There are several islands to choose from: Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife with prices at First Choice starting at just £211 for a week in Lanzarote in October. This is based on four adults sharing and departing London Gatwick on 4th October. If you are looking to travel in the summer the prices will most likely be higher: the best we could find with First Choice is £453 per person to depart from London Gatwick on 4th July, staying at the four star Marina Suites in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria. This is a self catering holiday based on two people sharing.

If you wanted to book the flights and accommodation separately then it is possible to go direct to the airlines and the hotels or resorts and tailor the holiday to your specific requirements. Lastminute.com and ,a href="http://www.expedia.co.uk">Expedia are always good for late bookings, and many of the tour operators are almost giving away deals at the moment.

Easyjet and Ryanair are worth taking a look at if you are after flights and if you can travel on a weekday you may get an even better bargain.
