how do i get cheap flights to ibiza?

danlightbulb

Hi all.

I want to travel to ibiza in may for a wedding for a few days. I dont go abroad often but constantly see the adverts for cheap flights on the tv. You know, get to xyz place for £19.99 or whatever.

But i cant seem to find anything anywhere near this price. What am i doing wrong please?

Thanks

Where did you get that from? I'm looking at 21st May rtn 24th May and best is well over £100 from STN, but really I want to go from the Midlands.

Half term. Saturday flight. Not going in your favour!

I managed to see £38 return 2nd/7th departing Stanstead returning Luton.

Half term in the Dudley region is the week after, starting Monday 30th May. Has to be those dates as its a wedding.

What is the cheapest way I get to Ibiza on those dates with a 3 night stay in a hotel? Is under £200 all in at all feasible?

You could certainly get low calibre self catering accommodation for £50 over three nights from a site like Alpharooms.

Transfers and food will add to it though.

British Airways Holidays have flight and 3* hotel from Gatwick from £148 matching your dates. There's also a half board option at £207 on their site.

You might prefer to add £38 on for a more sociable return flight time. Again, it doesn't include transfers on Ibiza.

Is there a way I can search from any UK airport as the outgoing airport, rather than having to manually go through each one, and then I might miss some that may have a cheap flight going?

Skyscanner.

Select UK instead of city.

Avoid booking via links from that site.

(The BA option I mentioned will also pay you £15 if you book via Topcashback. PM me if you'd like a referral link)

You could also use a more complicated search using skyscanner ..

Ah got a Luton departure and return for £96 each. That's a bit more like it

Wouldn't have known to look at Luton.
