Any cheap flights to Cyprus for August???

I realise this is peak holiday time. But my friend wants to book 5 flights to Paphos , going out of Manchester on 13th or 14th of August for 7 days. Anybody know where to get the best deal???

Thanks.

    We recently returned from a 7 day holiday in Cyprus which was booked a week before via https://www.firstchoice.co.uk at the cost of £150 per person.

    Having friends in Cyprus we know that its sometimes cheaper to book a last minute holiday & just use the flights as the cost maybe cheaper than booking a flight only!

    There are two airports on the island. One at Paphos & Larnaca which is around 1.5 hrs drive.

    Good Luck!!

    Thomson's https://www.thomsonflights.com have seats for the Sunday available via Larnaca.
    Perhaps a bit pricey at £220 plus taxes?
    If you would consider looking at other airports,try https://www.whichbudget.com and go to
    "flights from Cyprus",then click on either Paphos or Larnaca to see who flies there from which UK airport.You might find one cheaper- even Thomsons if that particular airport was short of passengers for Cyprus.

    Try libra, cypranair , avro and globespan have started to cyprus ( sorry not sure if they fly from manchester ). As previous op said sometimes cheaper to buy a cheap holiday, so maybe try portland, airtours etc for last minute deals. I used to work for first choice and alway found them pricey.
