Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

I am trying to book flights to Menorca for this July & in my ignorance thought I would be able to get cheap flights with EasyJet or someone similar.

 

But,its still going to cost about £900 for the 4 of us,return,which is much more than I thought.

It would have been £700 last week,but the prices have just gone up

 

Any tips for getting a cheap flight?

Just shopping around and booking in advance really Sarah. I book flights for the guys at work and to be honest, holiday destinations often aren't that cheap, and then they clobber you for tax ect, so check the small print.

You may drop lucky

 

I booked flights to Paris a couple of years ago and got them really cheap. The following week the same tickets cost almost £1000

You could try http://flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/ but I think easyjet are excluded from the search.

 

I think for the real cheap flights you need to avoid peak times and holiday periods unfortunately

Thanks Debs,I will give it a go

Sounds silly - but try BA. Sometimes as they need to fill the seats they actually work out cheaper than easyjet etc.

 

Same as everyone else said - book early, and try not to travel at peak times, e.g. mid morning. The more unsociable the time to get you to the airport - the cheaper the flight normally is!

 

Good luck

You could try booking with different airlines for getting there and back as sometimes people who book an oubound flight may not be coming back on the same day as you and vice versa. The airline will still want to sell the seats though.

 

We have used Monarch, First choice, Thomson and Jet2.com flying to and from Portugal.

 

If you haven't already booked your accomodation it is usually cheaper to fly on a random day like a Tuesday if flights are available, rather than a more popular weekend flight. Good luck

When we want a cheeap flight, we fly from Coventry & get our flights from thomsonfly.com - we get real real bargains! Try it - obviously remember to tick return flights & then select which one you want to come back on. You should get a bargain!

I work for an airline.

 

The key is to book early , sadly Sarah you're too late for a cheap flight in July We released our summer 2008 schedule in November, so most people would have snapped up all the cheap seats before christmas.

 

Try being flexible on your dates, avoid flying on peak days if you can (fri/sat/sun) which i know isnt going to be easy if you want it to tie up with your accommodation

 

Also if you are flexible on your airport try a "regional" airport rather than Heathrow/Gatwick.

 

Hope you find something that doesnt break the bank

I signed up with Ryanair to get email alerts.

 

The minute the flight schedule was published, I booked up 4 return flights, mid-July, from Prestwick to Rome for about £460.

 

I think the early chicken really does catch the worm .

I often book Coventry flights for work - they all moan at me, but it's so cheap because no-one wants to fly from there. TBH, I couldn't care less what the airport is like.

friends of mine are going to Greece in April (to view their new villa with pool ) and they found just flying out a few days later - after the peak rush at the start of the hols - has saved them loads

.....and there lies the problem I think - it needs to be during the school holidays

We are looking at the late May half term too now as an alternative,so fingers crossed!
