    Hi all,

    I know this is asking a lot but I thought nothing ventured and all that...

    I am after flights out from London in the morning of the 13th of July to Tenerife. All that is needed is a seat and a bag. An extra cabin bag would be nice but not essential.

    I can go via Ryanair from Stansted to Tenerife South for just under £400 for 2 people. I was hoping that it could be obtained somewhat cheaper - but I know I am probably hoping for the impossible.

    Many thanks in advance!

    I do not think that any travel agents are replying/monitoring to this thread since MATTR5 has had to pack it in.
