Flights help! From Perpignan/Carcassonne

HI everyone,
Due to a family emergency, my parents need to fly over from Perpignan or Carcassonne in France to me, pref EMA or Birmingham, but can also do London airports. The best I can find is Ryanair tomorrow at 5.20pm for £252.84 for the both of them, Perpignan-Stansted. If anyone can beat this, or better still find a way for them to get to EMA for similar money I would be very grateful.

Thank you for reading this.

  • If they can go from London Stansted to Carcassonne, Ryanair are doing that for £85 tomorrow...

    B_L, the parents are in France now and need to get home.

    Is the family emergency something that is covered by travel insurance? If so, no need to worry about fares, just choose the most rapid and convenient routing. In fact, the insurers would probably make all bookings and arrangements for you.

    No, they live over there but need to come to us I'm afraid. Will look into Carcassonne - Stansted though, that might be good!

    Thank you everyone!

    Oh, where did you find that - I tried that on Ryanair but it totalled £229.92 for the 13:10 flight for two people!

    Thanks again.

    Thanks again.

    Are you sure it wasn't 229.92 Euros? This is what the above prices equal when you include taxes.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • I just went to www.ryanair.com and clicked on the "find lowest fares" link at the top. Check that the prices are in "GBP".

    I just know that route's normally cheaper because my parents live near Carcassonne and we're always visiting each other :-D
