Flights to Alicante

Hello, wondering if anyone who has been recently knows of decent offers on flights (don't need accommodation) to Alicante, Spain from something like September 13th for five days, for Four Adults and one Infant (four months old).

Flights seem to have gone up in price madly for Alicante, was only £120 for two of us return last year!

Thanks

    I think the carriers are trying to extract a premium this year on the more popular routes.

    My brother has just left with his family and couldn't find anything reasonable to Alicante or Murcia. He always hires a car so hes found it much cheaper to fly to Madrid and drive to his appartment.

    Not probably an option though if your are not planning to hire a car though.

    go in just over 3 weeks from Birmingham . cost £200 each and that was a year ago when we booked.

    flying with Monarch, who now don't charge massive booking fees for debit cards, and take pushchairs and Child car seats for free.

    never flown with them before so let's see how it goes.
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:

    I think you should view last year as being very lucky and that you got a great bargain.

    I'm from Alicante and fly home every 2 months, always with Ryanair. Sometimes Easyjet or Monarch, but best prices are always with Ryan. You might have to be a bit flexible with dates though..

    Murcia is another option you can consider, not too far...
