Worth booking early
« on: January 30, 2012, 08:15:04 AM »
Just checked out of curiosity, how much the same flights are currently, compared to what we paid when we booked last Septemeber.

Sept £191.95 including baggage
Now £453.96 inc baggage for the exact same flights.
Both of these are complete prices for 2 people

How chuffed am I!!!!!
:D

We've never been able to achieve that price for a return with luggage even booking 12 months in advance.

July - £237.00
Now - £488.96

Both for 2 adults and including luggage.

Trueblue, Easyjet Edinburgh to Dalaman, for 2 weeks in May, as I said, booked last September.
We also got the Pelin hotel, half board, and transfers for the grand summ of £273.96, giving us a 2 week half board holiday for 2, for under £500. Bargain!

Wow! That is an amazing saving.  I was pleased with ours but that's fantastic especially for school holidays.  We've never booked flights so early before but will definitely be doing so again.
