Flight costs this year.
« on: February 14, 2017, 13:49:43 PM »
Monarch are so expensive this year from the north. Mind you so are all the others too.

Just tried to book 31/05 to 05/07 and they want £753 for the two of us. Half term the week after is £850!

We can go to Thailand for £900!

Even 24/05 to 05/07 is £595.

No cheap deals this year.

Thank god for my Tesco vouchers and my top cash back money.

The best I've found is Jet 2 with excellent flight times from Stanstead but I think they fly more from your way Stoop?

I also checked Gatwick and the same dates were £720. Seems they must be cutting capacity and ramping up the prices.

We got return flights in school holidays up here from Edinburgh for £192 each (but I was on it within seconds of the flights being released). That's pretty good for Edinburgh. Today it is over £400 each for exactly the same flights (I would drive to Manchester rather than pay that).

Not forgetting they are getting sweetener payments from Turkey to improve numbers coming to holiday.
