Help: Cheap flight to Tenerife South

Posts: 88 Forumite
I am wanting to travel within the next 1 or 2 weeks. Travelling from Manchester would be good but I am willing to go from elsewhere if cheaper. However, I am having problems finding a cheap flight!
Thanks for your help in advance!

school holidays mean this is a busy time and flight prices are higher, could you postpone the trip till September when prices will drop to probably around half the price of August (possibly lower)0

Look at Monarch 16th Aug MAN-TFS.
Ryanair Glasgow PIK-TFS 16th Aug £25.
Thomson 27th Aug TFS-GLA or
Thomas cook 29th Aug TFS-GLA.
Scottish airports are cheaper because the children have gone back to school.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0 -
I am wanting to travel within the next 1 or 2 weeks to TFS to stay for about 7 to 10 days. Travelling from Manchester would be good but I am willing to go from elsewhere if cheaper. However, I am having problems finding a cheap flight! I am concluded I may not be able to make the trip. I cannot afford more then £200 really and when I get there I shall be staying with my Mum.
Thanks for your help in advance!
You've left it a bit late, it's the school holidays and one of the most expensive months to fly to places like Tenerife.
A quick skyscanner search shows a departure from Manchester on 7th returning 17th for £237 flying with 2 different airlines.'I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore'0 -

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/72871291#Comment_72871291Thanks, but I am fairly confidant in saying that it will be possible to find those rock bottom prices again.

Again with Thomson
National Express coach from Manchester to Glasgow around £20 return
£10 for an open return from the bus station to the airport. https://www.firstgroup.com/greater-glasgow/routes-and-maps/glasgow-airport-express
A fair bit of travelling, but at least within budget and you'll have a couple of weeks of sun, sea and sand.0 -
Thanks everyone for all your advise. I am online now looking these up. It sounds like I am defiantly worth making the trip more further afield to make the savings.

Glasgow also has from the 4th to the 15th for £165. But why pay more for a shorter holiday, unless you really can't take two weeks.0
