Tabou Posted 29 April 2008 Posted 29 April 2008 Does anybody know where to get the best deals on flights for in July? I've tried those comparison things and found flights ranging from £170-£300 for July for a return flight from east mids to Alicante. Does anybody have any tips? If the mods could leave this up for just 30 mins before deleting I would be very happy!
hairy Posted 29 April 2008 Posted 29 April 2008 Try flying from Luton. East Mids never has enough flights. and try flying in the week and not weekends.

You'll probably find a package holiday for that time of year to work out cheaper???
Daggers Posted 29 April 2008 Posted 29 April 2008 You wouldn't get me on one of them plane things now they are cutting back on emissions
Tabou Posted 29 April 2008 Author Posted 29 April 2008 have you tried the usual, budget airlines!!You'll probably find a package holiday for that time of year to work out cheaper??? Tried - Monach, Easyjet, Ryanair, Thomson, BMI Baby etc. I'm going to my Mum's place in Spain, which is sort of near Benidorm. Would it be cheaper for me to get a teletext holiday or something, and just use it for the flight? And stay at my own accomodation? Is that allowed?

Try portland direct, they are like the cheap version of Thompsons!!
Tabou Posted 29 April 2008 Author Posted 29 April 2008 I would think so!!! Try portland direct, they are like the cheap version of Thompsons!! That just redirects you to Thompson Direct. Can I try a different tact? "Is anybody a pilot who owns a plane...>"
Jay Posted 29 April 2008 Posted 29 April 2008 why July? as a former travel agent I can say you will simply not find a decent deal anywhere near the kids holidays your best bet would be flying from Gatwick more flights and so on but then you have a higher cost to get there and all that but your best bet if possible is not to travel in July instead go for late June dead weeks really so you will be able to get a decent deal

Don't know if Monarch fly to Alicante, but they are pretty close(ish)
Monk Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 The best flight price search engine by a country mile is www.kayak.co.uk as it searches all other prices search engines and direct with the airlines. Has loads of functions like fare alerts etc. Expedia found my flight to Chile for 700, Kayak got it for 600. Give it a try.
