Stand By Flights

ms_newbie

Does anyone know if any of the budget airlines - Ryanair, Globespan, Air Scotland, Jet2 or Easyjet - do good deals for stand by. We've now bought a house in Spain and plan to visit as often as possible :T - so cheapest flight options needed. We live in Scotland and the property is in Costa Blanca. If they do how do you go about booking stand by tickets?

Usualy budget airline get more expensive closer to departure. Its best to sign up to all the newsletters and book your flights well in advance to get the best prices
If you do go last minute its best to try the charter flights such as https://www.xl.com or the search engine sites like https://www.skyscanner.net/wings.asp

Standby tickets are a thing of the past within Europe unless on staff travel. The ethos behind lo-cost carriers is that prices will rise along with demand and generally the nearer to departure date you get, the more expensive the seat will be. In the US though, it's common practice. Your best bet is to book as far in advance as you possibly can and by registering for e-mail alerts from the various airlines, you will receive notification of any particular offers they have at that time or will be having in the future.
