I have been trying to find the cheapest flights in June to take my brother in law away but in nearly all you have to enter a destination Are there any sites that I can just enter cheapest as I am not particular whether it be a Spain or wherever just determined by price and probably somewhere he has never been.

skyscanner is best. Select airport you want to fly from in the UK (or London if you don't have a pref), select flexible in the 'to' field and whole month then June in both date fields.

Tried that and it came up dearer than Easyjet listing destinations. The trouble with the Easyjet site is it takes time and I was hoping for a quicker search method.

Is price that much if a factor ? There are literally dozens of options in June for say Spain between £50 and £80 per person return so pick a location and use Skyscanner ?

Yes and No but thought that being a cheap destination it may come up with somewhere out of the ordinary that I wouldnt think of

Skyscanner will give you a list initially for the whole month, with lowest prices......how wide a choice do you want ? You can then narrow it down to specific flights and dates.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

I used SkyScanner the other day to book a flight to Paris in June. Would highly recommend it, I trust it more than other third-party comparison sites, it seems more transparent and flexible with the search criteria.

We used to go but the doctor has told me not to go there, only for a few days as the temperatures are having a bad affect on my health. So we have taken to having shorter holidays nearer home like Spain for a week. Plus all 4 of us that go are now pensioners so money is tighter.

I tend to use www.kayak.co.uk

The problem with searching for any destination with these sites is that you're not hitting live availability/pricing, so they show you cached results from the last few days.

Opodo is pretty good too.

Have you thought about Portugal? Usually pretty cheap flights.

Hope your wife is ok.

Have you tried OTB www.onthebeach.co.uk You have to select a destination but they focus on a relatively small number so it shouldn't take you very long to narrow down your search.

Once you've selected the destination then it shows you simply where and when the cheapest flights are before giving you very reasonable and varied accommodation selections.

I ALWAYS use this site for general fly and flop type holidays.

Hope this helps.
