I think you gotta be careful with flights as the price advertised isnt always the price you pay! tbh those prices look kinda normal, do your homework and you'll quickly get an idea for how much you should be paying...

I find the £5 advertised or whatever flights very misleading as by the time you factor in taxes, baggage charges and the rest it ends up getting expensive. You tend to get what you pay for so if you dont mind travelling from an airport in the middle of no where at 3am then im sure there are bargins to be had... !

Is there a limit on the tax for UK internal flights?
I couldn't beleive my luck when I was looking for Belfast - Edinburgh flights and found ones for £0.00 going over and £0.00 coming back (with Flybe I think). Slap on some tax and it's almost £100 return - crazy!!!

Apologies - I over-elaborated on that last post - taxes came to almost £60

Best way I have found of researching local flights

Yesterday one of my colleagues in work was looking at flights from Heathrow to LAX. He found a deal for under £600 for two people - that definitely included taxes, and the current BA surcharges. Can't remember were he got it though - and he isn't in today ... so overall not much good is it?

The tenerife flight is cheap, the rest questionable. On one hand its near the end of the season in Turkey, Majorca etc. On the other hand its rapidly approaching half-term.
Have a look on https://www.fly-4-less.com or https://www.flightline.co.uk to see if there are better deals around or Easyjet for Palma, Alicante, Faro.
