So this year, do yourself a favour - beat the kids to the beach and take a break during May and June. Your personal space around the sun bed will exceed six inches, hotel staff and restaurant waiters will be better-tempered - and you can look forward to showing off your tan to all your pale and pasty friends back home!
easyJet flies to many of Europe's top sun spots, but if you're looking for a bargain, there are still some particularly good deals on flights to three of the most popular summer destinations - Barcelona, Ibiza, and Nice.
But hurry to book as the best fares will be snapped up quickly! Remember, to get the best deals, try to be flexible with your travel plans, and avoid peak travel periods.
