Title: Flight advice
Post by: Vivbruce on July 12, 2016, 20:12:35 PM

Hi we are wanting to come back to Calis toward the end of September. We have been looking at flights and they seem rather expensive at the moment. Would people suggest booking now or waiting until nearer the time we want to travel. Any advice welcome, thank you

It's a chance you take.
We waited a couple of years ago and it was still expensive plus we couldn't get a flight home to Scotland so had to go back to Newcastle and hire a car to get home. 
For me now it's not worth it

It's a bit like trying to predict the exchange rate.......

There was a something on Skyscanner which said that their research suggested the cheapest time to book a flight was about 7 weeks prior to departure.

By coincidence, I booked an outbound flight ( July 28th ) at the beginning of June and since then it has gone up £100.00.
I booked the return flight about a fortnight later and it has gone down £20.00 today.

If you are flexible on dates then you might be lucky and get a bargain. If your dates are fixed then it might not be worth the gamble.

Booking the round trip as two separate bookings ( out and back ) has paid off for me in the past. It always seems to be the return flights that drop in price a little a few weeks before , but as you get close to the actual date I have only ever seen all flights go higher and higher....... no doubt some one will now say they have seen different.

If you book easyJet now, and the prices do come come down later, you can reclaim the difference as a voucher to be set against your next flight.
