  • I was browsing various routes this morning for Easter and May school holidays. I didn't want to book'- just taking a look at prices/ routes etc..
    Could'nt believe some of the prices for school hols'- Absoloutly extortionate, particularly May half term.

    I was looking to book Porto for me and some friends for June but not in school hols, so prices were considerably lower.
    i am so looking forward to not being tied to school holidays in a few years time.:)

  • Booked flights for Easter trip to Austria for £120 each at 5:30 this morning, now gone up to £240 for same flight. I didn't add hold luggage as I wasn't sure how many I needed and now that has gone up from £34 to £36 a bag. I didn't realise that the price of adding your bag might go up too.
  • Thanks to your email with the release dates of fares, we bagged a bargain. £322 for 2 Newcastle to Faro May 22 to June 5 inc front row extra legroom seats. Booked 6am today. Just checked sight again now, well over £700 for exact same flights! Thank you x
  • I was waiting for the flight release day to be published throughout Sept.

    Went on at midnight and got return flights to Venice for half term week in May for just under £100 per person. Now, 18 hours later they are TRIPLE that price. Not only did we get a good price, we got great flight times too.

    Have spent the day as a zombie due to tiredness, but it was worth it to save £200 per person.....and who knows what price they will reach in the next few days.

    Thanks for the tips MSE....will be looking to utilise a duty free carrier bag when we go.
  • We got our outbound flights for a party of 10 yesterday morning at 8am -they had only gone up ~ £30 in total since 6am ...but by 10pm the package was nearly £300 more!! Funnily enuf it only appears to be £240 more this morning:T
  • We booked 3 flights to Thessaloniki for May half term and as we were inputting our card details a pop up box appeared saying the flights had gone up £50. Very naughty however our £650 flights are now £2,193!! Extortionate rip off. How can they justify the flights going on sale and charging £250 each way to travel at a weekend? As a result we're taking our daughter out of school for 1 day saving £850
