***URGENT*** flights to cyprus advice

Been offered a cyprus villa at work which i dont want to miss we are a family of 4, 3 x adults and one child. (14) fly out 14.07.11 for ten days. idealy from man or liv or would look further out.

best quote i have had is easyjet £895 return, which incluedes the baggage, but no advance check in.

The others sites i have tried dont seem come near it, bmi, monarch, jet2, etc is there any other sites i can try as need to book before monday due to the apd rises.

thanks,

andrew.

    You will be paying the increase in APD anyway (a whole £1) as it is the date of departure not booking that counts.

    I would advise to go with the Easyjet flights. I've been looking at flights to Barcelona, Bodrum & Dubrovnik for next year and Easyjet was the cheapest for all destinations.

    Whichbudget.com is a good site to check out who flies to your destination with links to their websites to check prices.

    in all fairness, £225 per person with baggage included is not all that bad for cyprus, as cyprus is a destination that is typically high on flight only prices year round.

    i would get it secured ASAP in order to avoid losing those seats at that fare, and then having to pay a higher fare at a later date.

    I fly out to Cyprus with me family in 2 weeks time.Easyjet was the cheapest by far inc all luggage. Nothing compared really. I would hold off a little longer though as after christmas, flight prices will start dropping again. I found this myself.
  • many thanks for all the advice will most prob hang off till after christmas.

    thanks again

    Ten days remember is an odd duration, the flights that you have managed to find with low cost carriers are only going to rise in cost the longer you leave it
