Hi everyone,
Used flightchecker for prices for my mum to return to uk from alicante.
Followed a few leads but still coming up at over €180 which isnt bad however, on Thomsonfly I put in departure from Alicante to Bristol on 3rd September it showed available flights of €180 +, then beneath this offered alternatives of 7th September but destination Cardiff which is better for us of £29.99 not incl taxes which werent much anyway??
So I opened another tab and put in on Thomsonfly, September 7th Alicante to Cardiff and it came up €185 .
Exactly same dates and destinations!!
So a bit of advice put in day or two before required date and choose not so near destinations and see what happens.
All in all got the flight for 7th September incl taxes and card fee for £41.
Confused but very pleased!!

I have also noticed recently with certain flights if i go via Travelsupermarket to Thomson the prices have been cheaper than going directly onto their website.
I thought i was losing the plot at first but i tried different ways numerous times and going via TS came out cheaper for some flights."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0 -
