Hello guys,

Any expert on budget airline at all?

Need to be in Berlin on Sunday 19th May. Can come back same day or next day.

The cheapest i have seen so far is £162. I prefer to Gatwick~ berlin (schoenefeld). Anyone know how to play around it.

Cheers

Kay

    Short notice, weekend, German school holidays (in many areas), hence the price.

    Easyjet? Quite often do fares around £25-30 each way. May not be that cheap though as it's close to the date.

    Someone told me to avoid searching budget flights on weekends. How true is that?

    You can get good prices at the weekend, probably more on Saturdays than Sundays. But don't assume anything, the Easyjet site has a 3-week view where you can see the fares for every day and spot the cheap ones and think other budget airlines have similar.

    Do you mean searching or flying at weekends?
