Family holiday deals from the UK

With children the flight time matters as much as the price. Majorca, Menorca, the Algarve and the Costa del Sol are under three hours; the Canaries and Cyprus add warmth outside the summer; Orlando is the big one. Every fare here is per person, so multiply by your family before comparing with a package.
