Holiday site help

[itsme]

Anyone know of any GOOD holiday auction sites in the UK and/or Spain.
What I mean is one that is not a holiday search site such as Thomsons/Cosmos etc:

Do you mean a real auction, or just somewhere that does good late deals?

Do you mean a real auction> Yes Ian but not ebay

I have looked but keep coming up with nothing, there was a site a few years ago I think it was Mytravel but is not around anymore so I was hoping someone knew of one simular

 

[Ian]

Only one I know of is the Thomson one (http://www.thomsonauctions.co.uk/) - but there aren't many offers there.

I've had some good deals just by booking last minute hotel deals and cheap flights separately (especially to Spain!)

Thanks Ian but have had a look at that site Think I will book last minuet and go to mumbles

If you see any more sites please post them as I may have missed some

A friend of mine packs and puts money in pocket and goes to manchester airport. Then he tries every bookin desk to ask them if they have any ultra-cheap last minute holidays they would sell him. He always gets something and usually about 10% of the original cost. Mind you he never knows where he will end up.

Thats the way to do it though..Whn I first moved to the U.K did all the usual bar jobs and worked every single hour I could and saved every penny..Then it was a matter of handing in my resignation, going off to the airport and saying Europe for cheap..Bit of a lucky dip sort of thing, but it was great, cause you never reall knew where you were going..

Hotel or Self catering ***-****-*****. Going between end Sep After 29th and beginning Oct 10-12 nights Fly from Cardiff or Bristol. arrive at Malaga or Gibraltar. I have seen quite a few but not in auctions, most are a rip-off add this add that add the other you end up paying twice the price I dont mind 1k to 1-1/2k

Two adults with BA came to 1,200 but flights from Gatwick.
So thought I would wait and see......
