Buy Summer Flights Now or Later

I have booked a villa in Calpe, Spain for the middle of August but at the time the budget airlines had not released their flights.

They are now released but all searches from London airports to Alicante, Murcia or Valencia are not very cheap (around £180 return).

My question is should I just get the cheapest I can now as they will only increase in price or is it better to wait ?

I am hoping the more frequent fliers out there will know how these prices go.

    id be inclined to buy it now. Really shop around and look for the cheapest though.

    I may be wrong but that is what i would do

  • Have to agree with vixarooni, budget airlines' prices tend to just keep going up as the flights fill up. Can't see anything particularly cheap for your dates (school hols = expensive).

    Can't see the prices going down, i'd be more worried about not getting seats at all on Saturday flights.

    Absolute cheapest I can find is £165 thats with Ryanair to Valencia, £180-£200 seems more likely & I cant see it getting much cheaper.
