HIGH DAYS AND HOLIGAYS

Escape the grind of daily life with the help of Teletext Holidays – your one- stop shop for LGBTQ getaways

One of the few fun things to do when planning a trip abroad is putting together a truly epic holigay play list, stone- cold classics such as Wham!’ s Club Tropicana, Kelis’s Milkshake ( we want all the boys at our yard) and, of course, Madonna’s Holiday – sing with us: “It’s time for the good times, forget about the bad times.”

“You’re a click away from the right retreat for you”

Everything else that goes into plotting a getaway can be a pain in the derriere. Even the queen of pop probably requires a bit of guidance when figuring out where to fly her private jet to next. After all, there are only so many times Madge can visit La

Isla Bonita ( yes, we know it’s a fictional!). We all want to make the most of our annual leave, to temporarily break free from the chains that bind us to our desks, figuratively speaking, but if you type

“best holiday deals” into Google, you’ll be bombarded with more options than a Dulux paint chart. Too much choice can, quite simply, be overwhelming.

Here to relieve the headache and take the stress away from organising a break is Teletext Holidays, who have spent the past 28 years whisking millions of holidaymakers away to far- flung corners of the world. Pressing the rewind button, many of us will remember being glued to the service provider on our TV sets, sifting through the bargains.

Now, Teletext is available online — teletext holidays. co. uk — and you’re just a click away from finding the retreat that is just right for you, be it a last- minute beach break or a long- haul escapade.

However, those who find trawling through a website too much of a hassle will be relieved to hear that they can call up a customer adviser ( appreciably oldschool) who’ll tailor- make the jolly to your specific desires and needs.

That especially goes for LGBTQ revellers looking to splash the pink pound at a rainbow- coloured resort — Teletext has you covered.

All those hours spent pumping iron

( or playing on your phone) in the gym will be worth it when you squeeze into your teeniest budgie- smugglers in Malia, Greece ( from £ 299pp). Bring on the thirsty Instagram pictures.

If you’re looking to party the night away, there is no better place than Gran Canaria ( from £ 299pp), renowned for its raucous gay bars and clubs, and indeed beaches: let it all hang out, no really, at Playa de Maspalomas.

After some quality time with your boyfriend? You’ll be well served in Barcelona (£ 219), where you can soak up the sun, seek out the culture and appreciate all the sexy señors around ( there’s nothing wrong with a little windowshopping, you know).

Teletext Holidays has recently relaunched its much- loved Bamboozle quiz, which now also runs weekly on its Facebook page. Visit teletextholidays. co. uk/ attitudequiz for a special Attitudeinspired edition and find out about even more LGBTQ offers.

Let’s get quizzical!
