How much of a budget? We're r u flying from? Airfare from most USA POE to Paris, Barcelona, London, Brussels, Frankfurt......runs you about $1200 to $2100 per person coach fare with at least 30day purchase depending on your gateway and ow full the flights are - FYI many flights already full or at least the discounted coach fares already gone or very limited.

So your looking for an academy? Resort? Lots of options..........

Ah yeah, could have been more specific - sorry.
Flying/travelling from Scandinavia.

Am looking for a holiday place, where say a group of people come to play tennis X hours a day and get some coaching while doing it. I've seen deals around 700 dollars for a week with accommodation, free access to the courts and some amount of coaching.
Not academy, not good enough for that yet.

I've not caught flights that expensive ever - luckily. Even NY to Canary Islands I can get through Madrid for approx. $980

Of course If your able and can book even further out its cheaper.......90 day apex fares are as low as $400 (still have fees and taxes that jack it up a bit). Highly restrictive - God forbid you have to make ANY changes -

Last six months I've taken 10 trips to Europe - Biz class cost on avg $4200 r/t once I had to take Premium Economy (Air France) and that cost $1900 - reg Econ was $300 less. All purchased 30 day advance.

There are dozens and dozens of resorts that fit your bill.......in Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy, German Alps......even places like Club Med (I've been to the Club in Kamarina, Italy about 4 times and its amazing.....excellent Tennis and solid workouts also Club Med Pompadour is a tennis center - it's a 2trident resort so it's nice but not the Ritz.....I've been there about 8 times since the 80s....

Budget wise ... try Mallorca Island. Before Summer things are affordable and there's tons to do off court that doesn't cost you a ton of money. The best part is renting a car - super cheap. You need one cause the island is fantastic and you can see it front to back in approx. 45 minutes. Jofre Porta is on the island and he's as genuine and talented as they come.

I'm not sure about those prices. You can find tickets from most major US cities for quite a bit less than than that. And the advanced booking sometimes helps and sometimes hurts the price. It just all depends on the availability.
