    If you can leave on Thursday, you can fly return to Rotterdam with Transavia for 85 pounds.

    Can really travel from Harwich. Someone mentioned £85 in the above posts, was wondering if that was return or just single.

    I will give the organisers a call and see if they can book us a hotel for an extra day so we can go on Saturday morning and come back on Monday.

    I dont have airmiles, can you sell them? if so ill buy some if that makes my flight cheaper on the whole. Yes, im more or less desperate now!

    Assuming you mean 'can't travel from Harwich', read my post again. Dutch flyer includes the train from London to Harwich, and Hoek van Holland to Amsterdam.

    85 pounds is return. It says so in my post. Book hotel for extra day to go on Saturday? Don't you mean Thursday?

    UPDATE!

    Just called the guy whos organising it and he said they still have some money left in their budget so they can pay for 2 extra night.

    Now, this is how it is planned.

    Going Saturday morning and coming back Tuesday anytime!

    Surely, the flight has to be cheaper now? Let me do a few newbie searches, if anyone else can help me out I would greatly appreciate it!

    THANK YOU!

    The boat or coach would almost certainly be cheaper, but if you must fly you will find the best deal with https://www.skyscanner.net

    Since the tax element on a BA flight is 64 pounds, don't expect too much in the way of cheap flights.

    Not a big difference really. Skyscanner seems decent but when I check a few quotes out it says not available or no spaces, then why have the prices up there?

    Coming back from Amsterdam is alright as its only around £40, and thats to the City Airport which is 15mins away from my house.

    Just need to find a ticket around £60 for Saturday.

    price information
    2 Adult at GBP 40.00 GBP 80.00
    applicable taxes, passenger service charge and insurance surcharge GBP 126.60

    total price now including taxes, fees and charges GBP 206.6

    Found this! £206 for two, so, £103 each!

    Leaving saturday and returning tuesday.

    Not bad is it. Might just book this! Its with Bmi.
