Return flights from London. Short-haul airlines usually charge children the adult fare. A mid-range family room or apartment, plus food, local transport and days out. Prices go up in UK school holidays; August is counted as school holidays here. These are rough guides, not quotes. Plan your own holiday to see costs for your party, dates and holiday style, and add real prices as you find them.
