Maybe no use to you but 29th August - 5th sept £95.98 29th August - 12sept £110.98 plus credit card etc etc

[candy2411]

always worth checking the charter companies before booking schedule , especially if its last minute.

I decided to come for a week and got return flight from Manchester incl meals and 20kg baggage each way for 117 GB pounds all in with Thomas Cook.....Ryanair nor monarch could match it

decided to always check in future with travelsupermarket.com

[West mids tyke]

we have paid £192.50 each return daytime flights with monarch from birmingham international to tfs in november, cant wait 151 days and counting

[NikkiB]

I'm still waiting to book ours for 29th August til 13th sept. At the moment Monarch are about £160 each return from London gatwick/Luton I keep hoping that I may find them cheaper but I doubt it so probably going to book in the next couple of days.

[caroll72]

Wev'e just paid £80 each, return flights TFS/BHX for next tuesday 21st june. Daytime flights with Thomas Cook. Bargain me thinks.

Have you literally left it until now to book your flights? I'm wanting to do that but I always panic, I used to book them months in advance but have started leaving ti later and later :crazy:

Absolutely, I 've just returned with T Cook to manchester. Booked it within a week of travel £117 return included in flight meals and 20 kg checked in baggage.

return flight was on an Airbus A330 which is usually for long haul only, but meant lots of legroom and personal TV with choice of 5 films.

Hope your flight is as good

[caroll72]

Have you literally left it until now to book your flights? I'm wanting to do that but I always panic, I used to book them months in advance but have started leaving ti later and later :crazy:

Booked it less than a week ago Nikki.
We'd been looking at flights on skyscanners for a few weeks & they were around £300 return for the 2 of us.
Iv'e never left it this late either & i'd almost given up, then i saw Thomas Cook had half price sale, so just went ahead & booked it.
Just keep checking different websites at different times, the prices vary all the time.

[NikkiB]

Thank you..I think I spend my whole life looking at websites for either flights or apartments :lol: I'll definately keep looking, at least I've got somewhere to stay even if I have to swim there :shark::eyebrows:

[NikkiB]

Up date..have just managed to book 2 flights from Gatwick on Monarch for £251 :lots-jumping: Very happy! I was right to wait.

If you are looking for a last minute deal take a look at this. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/07/03/millions-of-holidays-still-unsold-as-cash-strapped-families-abandon-plans-for-summer-breaks-115875-23242705/ dont know if you will be lucky though for Tenerife as it seems their own tourist figures are the exact opposit of whats said in the link so Tenerife is lucky enough to be one of the only ones unafected by the British tourist so your luck may be out.

Great price,Ryanair flights not out when we booked so had to gamble
Our dates 8 to 29 May now £388 from Edinburgh
Can be difficult call when no flexibility with booked accommodation
Cheers

[Jackalina]

Nearly always book near the time when we are thinking of going. Holiday dates are dictated by flight prices. This doesn't always work out however because we sometimes then have difficulty getting the accommodation we like. This April we are coming by jet2 and the flights are 250 for two. We normally take Ryanair flights from prestwick and have never been more than 200 for two people. We live about 2 miles from Glasgow airport and 30 from prestwick so maybe worth the extra for convenience. Haven't used jet2 before so will see.

[macdonald5]

May need to rethink how we book
Over years (especially when with Globespan) I could get flights around £ 200 each but last few years find prices on the up
Used Ryanair from Edinburgh a few times after Globespan demise but when Jet2 came on from Glasgow have now used them a few times
Like them, good times, great 22 kilos luggage and comfy,friendless service
We 20 miles Edinburgh ,Glasgow 26 but Prestwick approx 40 so travel costs start to add up
Another fixed is dates of our preferred accommodation so suppose we can't win it all
Enjoy your Hols

[golf birdie]

I remember when we used to fly back a xmas for a mil return (less than a fiver)

We normally use Ryanair, but have used Jet2 a couple of times as well. I have to say, I've had no problems flying with Jet2 or Ryanair. It's so handy though being able to fly from Glasgow so Jet2 wins on that score..

[warbey]

Its worth checking with Flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com

Gives a good idea of extras too

[tonypub]

Is this really true? Do you have this type of plan for other places as well?skyscanner.net

[lcbandit]

I use skyscanner all the time, just booked Liverpool to tfs 10th to 17th May £54 return all in (unless they add this new spanish tax)

[karinagal]

My 'free' flights with Ryanair - earned through spending on my Ryanair credit card - cost me £89 for a week spanning the Royal Jubilee holiday. That includes priority boarding and admin fees.... A saving of about £100 on the normal flight price..

Amazing how people get used to prices. Wasn't that long ago you could get a return on BA, everything included for 70 quid.:crying2:

[Angusjim]

We booked few weeks ago with Easy Jet from Edinburgh for new year 31/12/12-11/1/13 total cost for 2 return tickets with 2 suitcases £322.83 cost now would be £799.96 looks like we got a BARGAIN. Cost of flights if you are booking now for new year is a rip off with all airlines

[Angusjim]

Been looking for a nice cheap flight (from Scotland ) in November which there are normally plenty of, but not this year they are a lot more expensive compared to last year, the flights I have booked at new year were cheaper than what is on offer in November. Are you finding it the same from other areas in the country ? even my favourite Ryanair are a lot more expensive. :(

[delderek]

This could make them appear to be more expensive than previously.

OFT forces airlines to stop hiding credit card charges


A dozen airlines have been forced to change their pricing policy by the Office of Fair Trading.

Ryanair, Thomas Cook, Thomson, Aer Lingus, Eastern Airways, easyJet, Flybe, German Wings, Jet2, Lufthansa, BMI Baby, and Wizz Air have agreed to include debit card surcharges in the headline price.

They agreed to the change after an OFT investigation into airlines which sprung charges on customers towards the end of the booking process.

The investigation was launched following a 'super-complaint' from consumer rights magazine Which?.

Most of the airlines, including Eastern Airways, easyJet, Flybe, German Wings, Lufthansa, Thomas Cook, Thomson (TUI) and Wizz Air, have already made changes to their pricing.

The rest have got until August 1 to comply with regards to advertising and fully complete further changes over the coming months.

OFT chief executive Clive Maxwell said:
"This is a great outcome for the millions of people who buy flights online.

"It is important that the cost presented when they search for a flight is realistic and that they are not surprised by extra charges. Otherwise it is harder for them to shop around for the best deal.

"We made it clear from the start that we would use all of our enforcement powers, including court action if necessary, but are pleased to have reached agreement with the airlines before court proceedings were required."

Following OFT recommendations last year, the Government has announced plans to bring forward legislation to ban excessive debit and credit card surcharges across the economy.

The OFT estimates that debit and credit card surcharging in the airlines sector cost consumers £300 million a year.

Ive noticed that the first 2 weeks in November this year is ridiculously expensive. If you are thinking of returning to UK at end of October, suggest you look now as the last cheapish flight out of Tenerife seems to be 30th Oct at this time

Probably due to school holidays, flight prices are always more expensive school & bank holidays.

[PUDCLARKE]

Ryanair Stansted Return cost us a total of £850 (2 Adults and 2 kids) including Priority boarding, 1 checked bag and taxes etc (flying out end of this month  )

We booked when flights first came out months ago– if I booked today , it would have costed £1485.92 !! – funny thing is that the price of oil today is much lower than when we booked

I thought I was a canny shopper but cannot seem to get cheap flights now, October this year from Glasgow with Jet2 £531 for 2, December £670.00 May next £582.00 then Oct £654.00 Granted we have little flexibility and always found booking early for flights got best prices but now starting to doubt myself

Can't really see the benefits other than slightly more transparency.

What should be challenged is Ryan Air Charging £6 or £9 per person for one Debit Card purchase which costs them maximum 18p (I am in the finance business by the way)

[Angusjim]

Hope you are right I NEED sunshine I am rusting away in Scotland at the moment and MORE rain forcast for this weekend:) ( That was in reply to Tom & Sharon !! )

AJ I am finding that booking about 6 weeks before journey is working out cheaper with RA at the mo! They seem to knock off tax for a few weeks.
Booked hubby trip at end Aug, only £29 incl cc & check in charge! One way from Manc to TFS!

May 2013 with Jet 2 Glasgow Tenerife £582 (for 2) with good day flight times
BUT got email yesterday that return flight changed to 9pm (was 2pm)
Gave options of money back,change to nearest Sunday flight - with same late return time
Checked other options ( Ryanair not out yet) and all similar times or more expensive so looks like we have to accept

[murph]

Well what with the lack of decent apartments and flights showing in excess of £500, it looks like we will not be coming to Tenerife this August for the first time in 10 years.
Ok, would have been a bit cheaper had we booked earlier, but not much (flights were nearly £400 from the turn of the year and we normally pay around £250) and the lack of apartments has been an issue for months
Very Sad, but all of the government's own doing imo (illegal letting laws etc)

[green1960]

I booked with Easyjet on the day they went on sale, 22 March. Details are

£105 return each - 9 November to 16 November - Manchester
£80 return each - 4 February to 15 February - Manchester

These are now £222 and £182 respectively. You have to book Easyjet flights on the day they go on sale, otherwise they are expensive.

We have no choice but to do school hols and as such they just rip you off from the day they go on sale.

RyanAir even charge £60 per bag in school hols and £40 at other times - disgusting!

[WELSH CLASSIC]

Monarch price from Birmingham 5/8 7days £760 each,Monarch from Birmingham 6/8 14 days £895 each
I think it's the Seychelles this year.

[BoPeep]

£50 each to come to Tenerife one way in October via Ryanair and £163 in the middle of September - terrible now though, I will just have to wait!

[liza]

If you are looking for a great deal on flights call the girls at Thomson office in C.C el Duque. Tel 922 761 202.
I have just booked an October return including 20 kilos hold luggage for only €114

[Blue Moon]

We changed our timeshare weeks away from the school hols after retirement and have the cheapest flights we have ever had at £225 each return from Edinburgh with Easy Jet, good flight times and bags included. We have generally paid between £280 and £300 in school hols. I did expect it to be cheaper than that but by the looks of things flights are much more expensive this year.

[Blondeshrimp]

Just paid £604 for 2 flights to Tenerife in March next year from Norwich Airport!

[BoPeep]

How about £296 for two returns 12th to 19th September, East Mids!

[davship]

How about £296 for two returns 12th to 19th September, East Mids!

When we go out in either Feb or August 2013 (tied to school hols!) we will definatly look at using the smaller airports because even if we have a long drive to get to the airport it looks like it will still work out cheaper.

[VideoMem]

Booked about a month ago for flights from Leeds/Brad 22 Feb to 22/Mar 2013 with Jet2, total cost £665.32 for the 2 of us breakdown as follows: Outbound £199.98, Inbound £197.98, Bags 22 Kg x 2 £81.96, Check in fee £40, Seats £27.96, Insurance £72, Payment card fee £23.12 & last but by no means least a booking fee £22.32.
However, my November 2012 flights for the same were £200 less in total using some of the points you can earn when flying with Jet2 when you are lucky enough to co-inside with the "Points redeemable" seats that are allocated on SOME of their flights.:hello:

Just seen some prices with Thomsons for the end of August Cardiff in the £300 Gatwick £88 .

[colin7777]

Just grabbed 4 seats Ryanair Luton 15th Dec - 7th Jan £750 inc the £48 booking fee. Missed £80 saving as when refreshed 1 ticket had been sold and even when 3 tickets available at lower price when requesting 4 all are then at higher price. Now just looking for Accommodation

For future reference, If you had just gone back and booked three they would have been at the old price and you would have just had to pay the higher price for one.

[colin7777]

Did think about that but worried that as it would have two different names on booking what would happen if I needed to cliam on insurance. Wonder if they would say it was two bookings so needed two sets of insurance

Won't tell you how much we pay for December But many times more than your bargain

Anyone got any suggestions why anyone would pay for speedy boarding on top of their ticket price on Easyjet flights now that they have allocated seating ??

We were the same at Easter, doesn't make sense does it, especially as the only way you can get it now is to pay £149 to join EasyJet Plus and you still only have the choice of the seats which haven't been pre-allocated to people who have booked in on-line.

Speedy boarding is a little bit of a hangover term from unallocated seating days.

As part of booking certain premium priced seats your get the old benefits from speedy boarding

- dedicated checkin/bagdrop at certain airports (manchester for one) - this was useful the last time as the standard queue was a mile long and unusually we hecked in a case so needed to use the bag drop.
- at Manchester you can use the express lane at the security area to bypass queues.
- first on the plane to get your case stowed rather than having to hunt for overhead space and now you are guaranteed to keep you hand luggage with you when others may have to have them placed in the hold.

So you no longer pay for speedy boarding as in the past, some like to have these little extras in addition to be able to pre-book maybe overwing seating that give you more legroom.

Others are happy to pay from £3 for a prebooked seat, earlier in the year on another flight (to Spain) we didn't prepay for a seat and were happy to take the one allocated when we checked in online.

[essexeddie]

We used to take Speedy Boarding but thought it a bit of a waste of money, as half the time we were all mixed up with the rest of the passengers on the bus.

We book online and with just hand luggage we just go straight through in the nick of time.

[delderek]

Because if you book in the first six rows you get speedy boarding free. And can get your hand luggage above where you sit. Rather than the other end of the plane. Or put in the hold..which is now becoming a common occurance. See another thread on tiny new baggage sizes.

As Delderek says, I also read somewhere that Easyjet are not 'Guaranteeing' people with hand luggage above a certain size will be allowed to take their bag onboard as a right anymore. i.e if there is considered to be not enough space and too many have hand luggage they will make you put it in the hold.

Think you'll find that they guarantee your on board luggage if its the recommended size even if you have to place the baggage under you seat in front. They are going to allow slightly larger sizes and this is the luggage that you may have to place in the hold.
But it raises the question, How will they know until you board.
I can see problems.

[tfs1]

... but if you pay for a 'premium seat', which includes the old speedy boarding benefits you will be allowed to take on-board and keep in the overhead locker the previously advised hand luggage size of 56x45x25.

The second 'new' size of 50x40x20 can be kept in the plane even if the flight is full for those who haven't paid for the £8/£12 seating and some of these customers who have a case of 56x45x25 may be asked for the case to be placed in the hold if there is no overhead space.

Seems to be a sledgehammer to crack a nut - or maybe they are moving towards 2 tier hand luggage sizes and extra payments for those wishing to take onboard what is currently and has always been the 56x45x25 size.

We have flown once before with Ryanair & going to risk not having priority boarding, last time it was a bit of a bun fight at Tenerife airport. They changed our gate number 3 times, in the end we were in the last 6 to board, couldn't be arsed to keep running between gates.
Do you know why the flight was cancelled yesterday?

More than likely to do with this Lin.....http://uk.news.yahoo.com/easyjet-halts-128-flights-over-french-strike-075852015.html#OAb64ML

Not sure unless it had something to do with French dispute - it was the only flight I noticed - Ryanair have issued a warning in FB today to watch flights due to dispute .

That makes me feel a bit better as I have paid for the two of us in October with Ryanaire £545, that's with luggage and extra legroom.

Have you checked on the flights with Norwegian Air.......I just wish that they would start flying from either Glasgow or Prestwick. I did see a thread saying that they had started flying from Cardiff to Tenerife, so just maybe in the future!!

[macdonald5]

Been watching for Norwegian Air and Ryanair release dates from Edinburgh seems to be around Easter before out
Jet 2 who we've used a lot have put prices 'through my ceiling' We've paid some silly money to Jet2 in past but I've reached our limits
Noticed Norwegian air out of Cardiff so strong possibility Glasgow could be on horizon

I've just spoken to both Carol and my cousin in Tenerife and they think it would be a good idea to postpone our holiday for a month, this will enable us to share some quality time with you and your good lady wife, but unfortunately our flight arrival will be one day later than yours, although this will be more than compensated by the fact that marbro8 will still be there to welcome you to your apartment.:c2:

To get the price that you got with Ryanaire you generally have to book the day the flights are released. Sadly finding bargain fares at £105 return seems to have disappeared.:-(

Your flight timings are great (the same as mine from Prestwick), you have still got a full day on your arrival and on the return leg of the journey.....out of bed and off to the airport!:c2:

I find them all much a much now with "hidden charges" but what I find with Jet 2 from Scotland anyway is that their starting off price is much more expensive. Start a booking with them and they will jump out at you as you go thru booking.
Mrs Mac will be along she uses them quite a lot as she is very rich
Try here there maybe some info http://www.jet2.com/terms

[macdonald5]

Yes Mrs Mac here has always favoured Jet2 , during 2015 we paid £2494 ( 3 visits Glasgow/ Tenerife for 2 incl extra leg room and luggage ) that's why I'm NO rich !!
Prices are much higher than Ryanair, Norwegian Air and Easy Jet but Jet2 are first out with flight schedules and if you have little flexibility with holiday dates or apartment availability it's easy to jump in despite price
Extras eg extra legroom for 2 is approx £100 same with luggage ,high starting price plus £200 ....expensive jollies
I'm also sore at Jet2 because they won't let me change my Glasgow booked flights to Edinburgh ( even willing to forego the lower price) Even the CEO said 'they had no system to change' when I contacted him
So this Mrs Mac no happy EX loyal customer of Jet2 !!

Anyone planning on Flying from the North West in July?

Just Booked RyanAir flights from Liverpool.

Day Flights there and back £137 return - they were £220 last week!

[Red]

Paid £1100 for family of 5 on Ryanair. Stuck to school holidays. On countdown now til 3rd April.

[Red]

Ps, may need a fold-away/Z bed. Anyone know any good firms that will rent me one?

[Red]

Have used premier-rentals in the past (nice lad called Paul) for a cot but the little fella too big for it now.

[AndyG]

I think MDI in Alcala rent fold away beds out. They have a Facebook page that will have a contact number.

Just been on ryanair website, I booked Xmas/Ny flights from bhx when they were first released.

They are now over £200 cheaper, I always thought booking early was the thing to do.

Think I might wait next time.

Last week I booked with Ryanair from Prestwick to Tenerife return for May 2017, cost with luggage, extra legroom, priority boarding £280....,well pleased as its £30 cheaper than I paid for my flights for this month.:)

Its always difficult to know whats the best to do, pretty much all the flights i have booked until April next year have now been reduced. Thats Ryanair and Monach.

It has even happened to some train tickets I booked into Manchester Airport for our next flight in a few weeks - booked them 12 weeks in advance and they then came down in price !

We need a return flight (looking at Ryanair) from mainland Spain back to Tenerife for early December.

For the past few weeks its been €52 , then at the weekend it went up to €61, earlier today up to €72 and just looked and its back to €52 !!

Ecky, I think I look too often and get disappointed with what I see. Last year I booked a flight from Spain to Tenerife at €60 and the next week it went down to €30.

I'm with you there Mac. Never check the price after I book. Might just get an unpleasant surprise.
