While you may be accustomed to short haul breaks for the family, opting for destinations closer to home because of the chance of a more affordable break as well as spending less time in the air, the prospect of a faraway holiday doesn’t have to be out of the picture. The idea of heading further abroad doesn’t necessarily mean trekking through jungles and flying for day to arrive at your chosen destination; there are plenty of awesome resorts within a few hours flight time which will provide you and your brood with a child-friendly option for a week or two this summer. Here are three top choices if you would prefer to head to somewhere other than the Balearic Islands this year.

Florida

It’s what every kid’s dreams are made of, right? With flights to  Orlando (http://book.flythomascook.com/cheap-flights/to-Orlando-Florida-USA/) being extremely affordable, particularly if you manage to bag a bargain, you can enjoy a trip to the Sunshine State for less than you might expect. Perfect for kids of all ages, including the grown up ones, Orlando is where the magic never ends – and with so many theme parks and attractions to choose from, your kids (and you) will be in their element!

Egypt

Officially considered to be the longest short-haul destination, with flights just over 5 hours, Egypt is a super choice if you’re hoping for a holiday on the sands with the opportunity to explore the culture and history if you so wish. There’s something for every taste in Egypt, from watersports to shisha pipes, you’ll all be in your element.

Mexico

Located on the cusp of the Caribbean, Mexico provides an opportunity to bask in your own little piece of paradise. From the soft sands that would be perfect for your children to enjoy a day at the beach, to the excursions that you could embark upon, including swimming with dolphins, if you’re after an exotic escape, you needn’t look further.

Faraway holidays don’t have to cost an arm and a leg; be a little savvy when booking your break and you’ll be surprised at how much travel bang you can get for your buck.
