Flights to Fuerteventura

spurs24

Hi there

We are looking to book our flights there and i wondered if it is a good time to book, or if i should wait.

We are going the 3rd August for 10 nights from gatwick or stansted for 2 adults and 1 child the cheapest is around £900:eek:

Not sure if this is good or not, but seams alot to me for flights.

If you have any advice as if you think it is a good price, or if they will go up or down let me know.

Thanks in advance

EasyJet always prove to be reliable and we use them regularly. We ar travelling from Liverpool to Fue in August and ther are 6 of us and it is 1200. Key is a bit of flexibility on your dep date or dep airport. if you can get to Liverpool on the 1st for 10 days easyjet have fares for around 200 each return... quite a saving but then you have luggage and petrol so it is whether you can be bothered.

Ryanair £617 total for 2 adults/1 child from Stansted to Fuerte on 3rd August, return 14th August. Pay with prepaid Mastercard. Add on checked in bags fee, if required (£40 return per bag)

It says limited seats left at this price. Think this is very good for middle of school hols.

Thanks for the replies, bronnie that is great, we could do from stanstead, what are Rynair like, are they reliable, and that it is a good price.

Thanks again.

Plenty of views on Ryanair on these boards.

I use them regularly and have never had an issue. Going to Tenerife with them next week for £68 return!!

Ryanair are like Marmite, love them or loathe them; just do your homework and be a savvy traveller!

PS their prices fluctuate so don't expect these prices to be around for ever.

Remember you can take 30kg (3 x 10kg, restricted dimensions) cabin bags with no extra charge. If that's not enough, economise on extra luggage charges by maxing out your cabin limit and you might get away with just one further 15kg checked-in suitcase.

Just and update, kept an eye on flights and have just booked with easy jet from stansted, prices dropped over £300 from thursday, so managed to get 3 return flights from 3rd of aug till the 13th august for £625, and they have even jumped up abit already, so really happy.

Glad i waited a few days.

Thanks

If you are looking for great service and inflight meals/entertainment then avoid.

If you are happy to play by O'Learys rules then you will get a cheap no frills flight in a new aircraft.

The problems arise when customer expect BA treatment for Ryainair money and that just doesn't happen.

Personally I love them and they are always my first port of call when looking for a cheap flight.

I have used Ryanair on a number of occasions and never had any problem with them at all.

I was tracking my friend, going to Malaga from Leeds/Bradford yesterday on one of the radar sites. Over two hours delay, then I tracked them as far as the Midlands then it turned East and disappeared!

Three hours later the people they were visiting emailed me to say they were in Stansted. The Stansted website even showed their arrival.

Needless to say Ryanair Was showing - ON TIME! LB was no better, however Malaga indicated that the plane had returned or was diverted.

I am waiting for the full story.

Update - they diverted to transfer to another plane as theirs had problems with the fuel tanks. Easier to mess the customers about rather than sending the replacement plane to L/B!

Hi

Don't know if this will help, but the FIL owns a home over there and he used to complain about the price of direct tickets until he found out that going via Spain (i think) meant his £200 ticket turned into £80 or less. He booked eastjet to mainland, then local airline out to the island.

ps. if you wanted to know more, PM me and I will give him a call and find out details for you.
