Cheap Flights ONLY - HELP

united66

Hi all.

Regular poster on other parts of forum, but new to the Holiday board, so a big hello to you all. Me and a friend won a holiday for 5 to Zante in June at an auction for £80 :O

We just need some return flights from either East Midlands, Birmingham or Manchester (as a real last resort!) to I believe Zakynthos is the nearest airport to Zante? Excuse me if I'm wrong.

We need them flying out on 19th June and returning on 26th.

Does anyone know the best place to go for one stop cheap flights? A lot I've found at the moment are flying to Paris then Athens then Zakynthos!? If someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

http://www.skyscanner.net/ always seems like a good place to start searching for flights. It doesn't obligate you to book via their portal but at least you get a quick idea of what's available.

Try sites like Skyscanner.net or Kayak.com. The former includes low-cost airlines so may be better for your purposes since they are more likely to fly non-stop to leisure destinations like Zante. Also a good idea to check out the airport websites as they usually have a list of destinations.

I've only had a quick look-around but the only option I found is Jet2 from Manchester.

As others have said, Skyscanner.

Also, have a look at the airport's page on Wikipedia, which gives you an idea who flies there:

With Zante being quite a small holiday island, most of the airlines that fly there, both charter and low cost, don't fly every day. They'll only fly one or two days a week.

If you really must go and come back on a Wednesday then the only direct flights are from Manchester or Leeds Bradford with Jet2. Manchester are cheapest for your dates at £254 each before baggage and other extras.

If its those dates you need then I'd book soon as jet2 are the only option!

There's Jet2, booked through Olympic Holidays you get it for £4 per person less and you get your baggage included.

thanks all

the one with olympic holidays is 330 quid each?

Price might have gone up since OTB checked 5 days ago. It's better to buy straight from Jet2 anyway, if there are any issues you can deal with them directly rather than having to go through a middle-man.

You can get it for 267 with Jet2

I went through skyscanner and the cheapest with suitcase allowance of 22kg each and airport check in is 318 each total
