A quality holiday with 4 - 8 hours flight time?
 

Just got engaged to my GF and we're looking at honeymoons already!!:eek2:

I don't like flying that much, so we're after a really nice 2 weeks away, somewhere that is between 4 - 8 hours away that would take my breathe away!

Any ideas guys & gals????

Once your up mate, your up. Take-off and landing is the most dangerous aprt of any flight, ask any pilot. As each sector involves one of each, I wouldn't let the actual flying time put you off. :wonder:


We did the west coast of the US for our honeymoon. LA to San Francisco. PCH1 is a lovely drive as well. :thumb:

Congrats, look for somwhere in spain or as above post america, but look out for swinger hols!

carribean, guaranteed to be memorable

Newcastle-Amsterdam=1 hr

Amsterdam-Bangkok=10hrs


Five hour wait in bangkok for connecting flights:eek:

Bangkok-Sukhotai=2hours,and that was with a very nervous,first time flyer.

Also we were travelling in our party was a person who said i would never fly for more than four hours.but she had to do this as she was never going to miss her son's wedding.

Then we had to fly from Sukhotai-Bangkok then take a road journey to the resort for the last 2 weeks of the holiday.

The nervous flyer and the first time flyer had to do it all again on the return journey,then they done the same in febuary.

DONT let flight times stand in your way,push the boat out a bit if it's your honeymoon a few extra hours in the air will be well worth it :thumb:

congratulations!

Hurgarda in egypt is quite nice i like it there going back in december :D
hope you find somewhere you like :)

Bermuda?

Triangle ? :wonder:

congratualtions :)

Loads of greek islands if you really dont want to fly far - lindos in rhodes, kefelonia (sp) more peaceful and romantic than luxurious but highly recomended

we stayed in Pefkos in Rhodes a few weeks back, it was only 5 mins to Lindos. wouldnt say it'd take your breath away :eek:

How about 2 different holidays to break your journey up? so fly to Dubai, spend say 4 nights there, fly to Hong Kong and spend 4 nights there then fly to Phuket and stay for a week to relax on the beach. Fly home.... maybe put Phuket in the middle of the holiday instead? We're looking at doing something like that this year, hoping to do Oz, NZ and Fiji.

i think Phuket is what he's hoping for throughout;)

Agreed - Pefkos is where all the people who work in lindos live! Lindos is in a league of its own and I wouldnt stay anywhere else in Rhodes

Yes but what Im saying is we visited Lindos and its not a take your breath away venue.

Corsica, 2 hours away and it's fantastic!

Calvi in particular.

Fuertaventura

Tuscany.

well i fell in love with the place :razz:

Bloody pilots!! :lol1: We'd figured out that taking off and landing are the most risky bits as that's when you're closest to the ground!! ;) :D The bit in the middle is scary cause that's when your anticipating getting close to the ground again! :lol1:

Not hard when you come from Birmingham ;) :D

Maldives does it everytime for me m8, been 3 times and going again in January 07 for my 40th. The sea is something else, the snorkleing and diving are out of this world., will post pics if you like, (Or e-mail you some piccy's).
Down side is 10-11 hours flying time, but don't let put you off,

Cyprus is lovely, but the Maldives look out of this world:thumb:

not surprising when you eagerly display such vulgarities *nose in air*

now back on subject....

cuba is suposed to be becomin a very nice holiday destination, and still fairly quiet

Try Morocco, fantastic country, friendly people. Not too far to fly and if you hire a car you can move around a bit for a change of scenery.

I'd recommend either Gozo (next to Malta but MUCH quieter and nicer) or Madeira. Neither are beach holidays but both are fabulous!!

Or - as I've said before - do something completely different - we spent 1 week seeing at least 1 show a day at the Edinburgh festival and 1 week walking through some of the most stunning scenery in the highlands! :thumb:
