Aerlingus or Easyjet

BOBS

Wanting to book for next summer flights to Belfast to Malaga - the Aerlingus flights are out and costing about £750 for 5 of us. Just wondering if anyone any experience of easyjet - their flights not out until late October/November.
Dilema is - do I book now with Aerlingus or wait until Easyjet flights released. Thinking if i wait Easyjet may be cheaper - but if not then i could miss out of the aerlingus ones.......................

i am also wanting to book and am holding on for Easyjet. their flights are almost always cheaper if you book them as soon as Easyjet release them .Aer lingus taxes seem to bump up the price. sign up with Easyjet and you'll get an email when flights are realeased.

thanks niceday - read somewhere that you are better to keep checking easyjet website as sometimes the flights are live online before you actually getting an email to tell you about them.

Thats what I do....just check Easyjet any time I,m on the net......
last year we got to Malaga for £90 each That was all in tax and luggage each...we booked as soon as they were released. we added 1 person to come with us and booked themon same flight 6 weeks before leaving and it cost £270 for just him......:eek::eek:

We are tied to July fortnight - with Aerlingus at the moment working out at £800 altogether and that is tying ourselves to the cheapest flights each way. Would be fantastic if we got for £90 ...... fingers and toes crossed!!

We're in the same boat but we're just hanging on to see how much Easyjet flights are and fingers crossed we'll all manage to get them at a good price (would love to get for £90 each)!!!! I had been told Easyjet flights will not be out for next summer until December,should they be out October November then??? Thanks

BOBS

Dont think anyone really knows when they will be out - its just a matter of keeping checking but if you google easyjet summer 2011 people are speculating end October beg November for realease.

depending on whether you have infants travelling, aerlingus let you take a collapseable buggy for free whereas easyjet let you take 2 from a buggy, travel cot or car seat for free.
May not make much difference to you - just depends on the age of any children!

BOBS

Thanks Snowmen but mine are well past the buggy stage :-) but this may be the deciding point for some.

Thanks BOBS I will keep my eye out :beer:. Thanks Snowmen I have two of buggy age so it's really useful to know that and probably would be a deciding point for us :beer:
