We are flying from Manchester, £150 each return (hold baggage extra). More than happy with that :D

We also went from Manchester in May.  However, it is so annoying that if you live in Scotland you are charged so much... I wonder should I write  to "Wee Jimmy Krankie" and complain, or is she too busy with the next Indpendance referendum?

It won't be getting any cheaper if she gets independence either. Actually I do agree with you on one thing, we dislike Manchester Airport the most - but just terminal 1. We have flown from terminal 2 each year for the last 4 I think and it is a breeze, really good.

The out part is a bargain, only paid £30. It's the getting back part and they are hard to find. How you getting back?

It would be interesting to see the comparative numbers for each Uk airport compared to those for previous years.

But its always the same at this time of the year - cheap to go out and expensive to get back - whats new?

The Easyjet flights we are using in the next few weeks totalled £366 return for 2 of us - can't complain about that.

I guess its unfortunate there are not many options from Aberdeen, but it must be down to demand surely?

We are close to Manchester airport, and despite its flaws, its has plenty of routes, airlines and connections so you can get to most places easily and cheaply - although the Manchester to Aberdeen route is extortionate.

I agree that T1 is grim though!

Never thought it would be expensive. Looks  like we will hang on to book. To think 2 years ago I paid £13  each in October to do the same route.
