Not sure when we are going, but off to Philippines this year. First off my wife needs to travel to London and the Philippine embassy to get her passport renewed.

Then its down to cheapest time. Obviously early part of the year flights are 500-600 pound per person with all the bank holidays. So we are looking at June as School summer holidays in July, then my eldest starts proper school after that. Cheapest I have seen is £383 with emirates from Birmingham to Manila.
