    Hi,

    You did not mention the kids ages, or if you wanted return flights,

    I have found the following flights on EasyJet,

    dep Belfast to Paris on the 23th August, 27th August, 28th August, 30 and 31th August 2005, for 2adults and 2 kids (2-13 inclusive) =£91.96 in total, this is a single fare.

    If you fly out on the 23th August and return on the 31st August the total is £235.24.
    Check https://www.easyjet.com for these dates.

    I have checked Ear Lingus and Ryan Air and found EasyJet is the cheapest! Be sure to book fast as these flights are snapped up fast!

    Bonjour

    Just want to add my tuppence worth....

    It might be worth your investigating different airlines for different legs of the journey...eg go there with easyJet, come back with Ryanair, then you can cherry pick the cheapest flights available. The only complication might be if you park at the airport of departure then you might end up returning to a different airport. But look at all the possibilities....flying from/into smaller airports eg Shannon, Eglatine (sorry can't remember how it's spelt!) etc.

    By the way, even if you go and come back with the same airline it is (apparently) worth booking two one way journies....I have heard it mentioned that if on booking you tie your return journey to the outward the airlines take advantage and charge a bit more...don't know how accurate this is, but might be worth testing.

    Bon chance!
  • thanx for the info. will start to check them out this morning
