Gatwick to Manchester cheap flight

My daughter needs a return flight from Gatwick to Manchester on the 27th to 29th March for 2, very early morning going - late evening returning.

Its to go to an event in Blackpool.

British Airways £108 each seems to be the cheapest, their don't seem to be anymore options anyway.

I did have a cheap flight checker, but I can't find it now, anyone got a link for it?

Many thanks
Kim

    Why doesn't she fly Ryanair Stansted to Blackpool? They have flight timings that fit, for £47 inclusive return.

    Well that's a shame as British Airways are the only airline that fly Gatwick to Manchester :D

    Something will have to give! The BA flight will be full of Business clients flying to early meetings.

    Thanks Sam, I think we have the same one. But tax & something else puts them up to £108.
