    Not in the current boom for travel, prices are rising not falling. I would book now if you want to travel next month, June is slightly less busy but after 2 years of no holidays, the pent up demand really is there. And whatever you do, choose your airport of departure carefully.

    If you get a price from a Tour Op like Jet2holidays or Easyjet Holidays then post it on the "Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread" - Travel Agents like me will often be able to discount the direct price for you

    Thanks all. I don’t have any company in mind to haggle with. I’ve been looking at various sites like jet2 and loveholidays.

    Thank you @MATTR5 I will look and do that :)

    Please please do some research on love holidays (a look on the coronavirus travel support board may help as I’m sure they were quiet difficult to say the least with their package holidays and refunds) however we have used Jet2 previously and have an existing booking with them that they have been very flexible with when we have had to reschedule over the last 18 months due to restrictions etc.
