There are a number of things to take into consideration when booking a short break to make the most of your time in the sunshine. Flight time is definitely one thing to think about. If you're only away for a few days, you won't want to travel too far, and that also includes the airport transfer time. You may want to try and make sure that your hotel isn't too far from the airport either so that you can maximise your time on holiday.

Last minute short breaks aren't always the best option in this instance but you still might be able to find a great deal.
