The 1p flights were very easy to find and they were numerous. The website clearly stated that there were 500 one-way seats available at that price. From Bournemouth alone there were many to destinations such as Paris, Amsterdam and Malaga to name but a few.
It took me a mere 15-20 seconds of searching, so to say they are impossible to find and you'd have to be extremely lucky to find them is mis-information. I
have just checked again and there are still some available !!
I booked a return trip for an extremely good price and could have booked more if i'd wanted. I don't have a endless amount of free time, but am prepared to be flexible to obtain a good price.

For some time Martin and Which? have been campaigning for it to be compulsory that prices MUST include all taxes, particularly as nowadays they are such a big element of the cost and vary tremendously between airports and countries. Browsing for a flight for my daughter from Manchester to Gatwick today I came upon £13 return with Jet2.com and £12 with BA which rose to £42 with Jet.com but £56.40 with BA with taxes for the same airports. Blackpool to Stanstead with RyanAir was £3.04 plus taxes of £26.66, total £29.70. Cheapest rail return was £67.40 (with 4 changes!) and coach £37.50. You pays your money .....
To cap it all it ends up with me driving her there!!! Should have known.0 -
