Annual Networking trip 2013 Hotel details added!

[Spirits High]

It's never too early to start thinking about next years "networking" trip as flight schedules are in the main out now.

The general consensus from this years Benidorm was maybe it's time to look at an alternative as Benidorm seemed to have lowered its standards even for Blackpool in Spain ;)

There's been a bit of chat on FB about going to Ibiza but there seems to be a stumbling point with flights.

Times will be similar to this year and looking at April time.

Any suggestions for venues dates etc please voice them below.

Right, well it looks like it's going to be Palma Nova in Mallorca from Sunday the 21st April - Thursday 25th April.

Flights are pretty cheap at the minute via Jet2.com

And as it stands no hotels are earmarked. The priority is to get the flights booked.

If you're up for it then show your support below. Copy and paste yourself in to the list with where you're flying from so others can join you.

I quite enjoyed Benidorm, in fact I loved it so much I went again last week with the Wife.

Just checked Skyscanner and flying Lufthansa from Gatwick to Palma is £165 return per person (cheapest price).

Manchester to Palma cheapest is £179.00 with Swiss Airways.

East Mids to Palma cheapest is £65.00 with Jet 2 and that's cheap as chips!

Sadly, Jet 2 don't go from LGW but even at that price i'd drive to EMA in my van.

Feel free to add yourself below. So far there's no hotels booked as the priority was flights.

EasyJet haven't published flight details for April 2013 from Bristol yet :P I went over in June and the flights were about £120pp return (and that wasn't the cheapest options, just the ones which worked in with babysitters).
