Q I’m hoping to go on holiday with my wife and four-year-old son to Tenerife between 26 December and 2 January. Could you kindly advise when it’s the best to buy flight tickets and book hotels?

A Delighted to hear about your plan: the Canaries are as far south as the resorts of Florida but much easier to reach, especially with a four-year-old.
