my son needs to get back to Crete ASAP, but one way flights are coming up over £150. I've looked for holidays hoping they might be cheaper but nothing under £400. I'm now thinking a cheap flight/holiday to any of the islands and then boat. He's on a very tight budget. Anyone got any ideas?

    It is summer, demand for flights to Crete is high in summer, £150 sounds Ok considering how far it is.
    https://www.aegeanairlines.com or perhaps easyJet to Athens.

    BTW Crete has another airport at Chania, so check that as well as Heraklion.

    Whatever happened to the recession?

    £130 is cheap, considering it is summer and it is a four hour flight, the recession is well and truly with us.
