New to buying flights - Help needed! (UK - Czech

Hello :)

I'm normally pretty good at working out ways to get best deals etc. but I've never purchased flights before (and only ever been one one or two as a child!)

I'm looking for a flight from the UK (preferably Birmingham or nearby) to Brno (but also Bratislava, Prague, and ??? are all within two hours and I am getting picked up so this is fine). I am looking to travel any time 21st - 28th December and stay for approx 7 days.

I have lots of options regarding when/where to take flight from and destination so it's all a bit too much for me to work out. I see deals for £30 on Ryan Air B'ham - Bratislava but then can't see those prices!

In summary:

- Main aim: Cheapest possible flights
- Outward journey: UK (preferably Birmingham)
- Destination: Brno or 3 surrounding airports (Prague, Bratislava, ??)
- Outward date: 21st December - 28th December
- Duration: 7 - 10 days

Can anyone either help or give me some advice?

Thanks

    Use a search engine such as Skyscanner to find out which airlines fly where you want to go, then book your tickets straight from the airline you decide to use. Many airlines will allow you to see prices for several days at a time, making it easier to find the cheapest travel date. Make sure you read and follow all rules about luggage sizes, check-in procedures, etc.
