Incredible offers, including bargain flights & a wallet-friendly India trip

For wallet-friendly airfares: easyJet's new routes

With a huge airfares war taking place, now's a great time to find rock-bottom flight prices. And easyJet is stepping into the fray by launching nine new routes from the UK, including Southend to Malta and Bristol to Athens.

You can fly on the airline's first service from Manchester to Agadir, on Morocco's southern Atlantic coast, for £62 return, departing 1 November and returning a week later.

For a capital escape: self-drive London from £152pp

Forget open-top buses, you can get behind the wheel of a convertible in the capital with Super Break's new self-drive tour package.

Starting at £152pp, the deal includes two nights' room-only at the Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum and 90 minutes in a two-seater Yonda car, in which you can follow a route past sights such as Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. Valid for arrival on 13 August, the deal is based on two sharing and can be booked once you've selected your hotel room.

For a cruise with a difference: rock out from £499pp

Spend a week rocking out to Suzi Quatro, Slade and The Yardbirds on a cruise around the British Isles.

The seven-night full-board Rock the Boat UK voyage, on Cruise and Maritime’s Magellan, departs from Newcastle on 2 September and costs from £499pp with Iglu Cruise, based on two sharing. It calls at Aberdeen, the Isle of Skye, Liverpool, Dublin and Invergordon, but the main attraction are the musical acts, who will be doing meet and greets as well as performances.

For last-minute long-distance: Hong Kong from £902pp

eDreams is offering five nights at the 4-star Dorsett Tsuen Wan Hotel in Hong Kong plus flights from Heathrow, for £902pp.

The hotel is in the lively Tsuen Wan district, close to some of the city's top dining and nightlife – and is also just a short drive from Hong Kong Disneyland, if you fancy embracing your inner child.

The price is based on two sharing room-only accommodation.

For low-cost family fun: Costa Brava for under £400pp

It's still possible to book a budget escape during the school holidays; Monarch has a number of late deals including a self-catering holiday in a one-bedroom apartment in Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava.

The price is based on two adults and two children, and includes flights from Manchester to Barcelona, departing 16 August.
