Cheap flights - not

[bewva]

I am looking for flights for August.
I couldn't book earlier for various reasons and we are having to travel on different dates due to various commitments.
Prices are varying between £389 & £439 for the flights we want.
So it looks like I will end up paying about £1600.

This year has got to be the most expensive flights I have seen in 10 years.
I paid £350 each for the May bank holiday.

Go somewhere else

I would but I have 'free' accommodation in Turkey so it probably still works out cheaper and as as a family of 4 we are coming and going at different times so it makes it difficult.
Its just the flight prices are a complete rip off.

Last year I found flights to Dalaman for £276 each for our dates. I widened my search and found 4 flights to Portugal for £278 total for the 4 of us. We went to Portugal.

I fully understand the free accommodation thinking Paul and lived by it for a while. But it's wrong

I have had a good look around on a few websites and I am looking at about £500 -550 each as a minimum for flights and accommodation for the likes of the Algarve, Majorca and Tenerife.
I will have another look tomorrow.

Bizarrely if I can move my days forward a couple I could go from Glasgow for about £100 less each.

Don't forget you are being tracked too by sites like Jet2/Monarch.  Drives me mad as every time I find a flight, if I leave the site and go back, it's gone up!
I don't want to delete cookies all the time as I can't remember all my passwords!

I have never had this problem Bluwise. When I go to book I often check the price from another computer to ensure to cookies thing does not raise prices. So far it has not but I know on here people who it works for.

Thanks Toky - I'm using a mac but have found that 1,400 website cookies are on here.  Trouble is, looks like I have to delete one by one so I don't lose the ones I want.  I will certainly do as you suggested for flights in future - thanks.
