    But easyJet advises that, generally speaking, they only go up.
    January flights can be extremely cheap, with a lot of flights at less than £20.

    I've checked Easyjet prices for several months hence & £24.99 is the cheapest on that route

    I think it is a base fare, but when demand is very low, the yield management computer does lower the fare below base.

    what about other budget airlines- if you want to go to nice i bet any money you want that you can go for less than £20 all in pp.

    i am a trained travel agent (although thats not what i do for a living), i would reccomend ryanair, bmi baby and flybe if you want to find a cheap flight
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)

    Why exactly? As a trained travel agent you should know that neither Ryanair nor flybe operate to Nice. Furthermore , if you care to do a general search using https://www.wegolo.co.uk you will note that on the dates in question the cheapest flights from Luton , Stansted and Gatwick are ALL with easyJet. If you don't like easyJet just come out and say so rather than posting a pack of lies on this forum.

    If you really want that flight are you going to risk it for the sake of a fiver.

    Having said that,every year without fail Easyjet have a January sale.
