Should I pay money into my mortgage?

We have a mortgage that is at 4.29% fixed at the moment for another year and a bit. The question I have is should I pay an extra money I have into the mortgage (it's flexible) or into my ISA which is currently giving 5.3%? I would assume that I'm best putting the money in the ISA but I wonder if I'm missing anything here?

Cheers

    The quicker one can pay off their mortgage, the better.

    I would personally pay off as much of the mortgage as you can afford and are allowed to by your current lender.

    But im not an expert on savings, so I would recommend speaking to an IFA
