I searched two Saturdays so it’s a fair comparison, as you get different prices for different days of the week. I’m not going to look through every possible combination of dates am I? I’ve already expended way too much effort on this somewhat ridiculous thread diversion as it is. Edited 22 January 2018 by Rogstanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your search is flawed because it doesn’t come close to the cheapest ticket I found. Maybe Indian Asda workers are better at hunting out cheaper flights than you. Just like I am.

Buce Posted 22 January 2018 Share Posted 22 January 2018 A question for you guys (not politics, but kind of related): I'm just in the process of arranging car hire (to be paid in Euros), and I can either pay now or when I pick up the car. Would you care to speculate whether the exchange rate will go up or down between now and July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was absolutely outrageous you thought you could just pick the cheapest date you could find, use it to try and discredit Webster and seriously think no one else would check it.

I don't think the pound is going to go on any sort of large increase but it's looking very possible the FSM could win the Italian elections in March and go into coalition with Forza Italia - a more Eurosceptic government there won't do anything for the value of the Euro, not to mention Germany possible being in a state of political purgatory after another election.

British Pound Forecast to fall to post-Brexit Lows vs. Euro Again in 2018: CBA A note institutional currency analyst says Pound Sterling's good run against the Euro is ultimately likely to go into reverse. This week has seen the Pound-to-Euro exchange rate make an impressive 0.90% advance to 1.1342 amidst a broad environment of Sterling outperformance. However, amidst the positive price action in the exchange rate, we have reported that there remain some currency professionals who remain sceptical as to how sustainable Sterling's advance against its cross-channel partner might be. We can report today that the Pound will struggle to appreciate against a resurgent Euro during the year ahead, according to Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and may not be able to avoid a return to last year’s lows at some time or another as the Brexit negotiations roll on. The warning from CBA comes a day after we reported two major investment banks - UBS and JP Morgan - were of the view that Sterling would ultimately return to the 2017 lows located around 1.08 at some point in 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the only person on the thread who has properly searched any flights in the summer and from what I’ve seen they’re cheaper than Christmas. Happy for anyone to prove me wrong but so far nobody has. All you’ve shown are averages for Easter, not actual ticket prices for summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
