Chaep Flight to Malaga???

Hi,

Can anyone help with this?

I need a cheap flight to Malaga for two people the weekend of 23/24th July returning the following weekend - we're flexible to within a day or two each way, but can't seem to get a return flight for under £150 each. Pref flying from Birmingham to keep costs down for petrol and parking etc.

I think I've looked at all the usual websites!

Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks S_C

    You have answered your question. There aren't any magic airlines that will fly you from Birmingham to Malaga on top of those you have already tried. £150 per person is EXCELLENT taking into consideration you want to fly in 10 days time ie. not able to benefir from cheap advance seat booking. I have checked the KLM website and two tickets to Malaga via Amsterdam will cost you £150 each +tax taking both tickets above the £400 mark....so go-ahead and grab these flight at £150 before they get any more expensive.

    Cheap flight to a popular holiday destination on the first weekend of the English school holidays, chances must be pretty low.

    Have you tried checking for a late booking package holiday and dumping the accomodation part - doubt it will be cheaper though

    No packages won't be any cheaper, but thanks for the suggestion - I did have a look. I have a great deal through work at Atalaya Park Golf Resort E60 instead of E131 a night - we need to go somewhere with a golf course as my boyf is a pro and needs to keep practising throughout the season.

    Looks like either cancelling my time off until early autumn or a caravan in Devon!

    Thanks anyway guys.
