Price of flights to Menorca August 2010.

Hi, just after a bit of advice please.
I am thinking of booking a villa in Menorca for the end of August (27th to 3rd September) and the immediate deposit due is less than £500 so want to try and book it this week if possible.
There will be 7 adults, 2 x 14 year olds and 1 x 15 month old. I probably won't have the money to book the flights until July sometime.
My question is, is there a "best" time to try and book flights to get the best deals (will be flying from Manchester, but could go from Liverpool if it was cheaper). Also, are there any codes knocking about for Villaplus that I could use? What kind of price will I be looking at, per person, for the flights?
Thanks in advance.

Booking flight only usually means paying 100% at time of booking.
Have a look here for flights:

You would have been best booking flights about 6 months ago, but that doesn't really help you...
You are probably looking at a minimum air fare of £180 per person (plus baggage charges) in August right now.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -

Thanks for your reply. I'll take a look at the site you mentioned, thanks. If I could get the flights for around £180 I would be happy (ish!).
Best wishes

Just be careful with booking your flights so late as you have a party of 9 people and availability on the flight you want for the whole party may be limited."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0

Hi, the Villa is just under £1500 (deposit £350). We are hoping to book the flights around early July (flight for end of August - 27th for 1 week).
Thanks, Carol.0 -
