I know it's been posted before but I don't remember them.

think there are cheaper ones but i always check www.ebookers.com

and i heard somebody mentioning monarch flights.

Depends also on where you want to get to and when !!

For example if you are booking some time in advance you seem to get the best deals direct with the low cost operators - Monarch to Gatwick/Manchester, MyTravelLite to Birmingham/Manchester, EasyJet to Gatwick/Luton/Stansted?Bristol/E Midlands plus whichever others there are.

This is always assuming its Portugal/UK - if not - different story altogether

I'm sure I've probably written this before in the distant past, so apologies if so!

I always sign up for the airlines email news and offers and go with whoever at the time. If you're lucky like me you can travel to many airports, but I would always go with a provincial airport everytime whenever possible. They're easier all round and usually the flights are on time.

Look at all the obvious sites - easyjet, thomsonfly, bmibaby, flybe, excel, monarch etc. Also lastminute.com, opodo etc. Don't rule out the bigger operators like BA etc, sometimes they have really good prices, but it will mean London airports. TAP (the Portuguese airline) is also one of the good ones.

The national papers have most of the adverts about the special offers, but they are usually a bit later than the email alerts and sometimes only email alerts are used.

Happy hunting!

Try

www.skyscanner.net , this site shows you the best fare on the low cost carriers over a whole month period so if you are flexible you can get some good bargains. Also try

http://www.aerfares.net/v11/index.php similar to the one above. Have a look at

www.avro.com for a good selection of charter fares. (offers on the right of the page).

I like my tix to be reassuringly expensive …. up at a civilised hour…taxi to the nearest airport….cappocino served in the lounge….light lunch on the plane followed by one or two of those freebie miniature snifters……arrive early afternoon…..the perfect start….

Give me more money to spend the other end any day!!!!!!!!
MyTravellite never fail to come up with a good deal from Birmingham.

Thats what I like to see Suzie!

Stick with Birmingham and help to keep me in a job!!

Chris

yeah but I know of people who would get up in the middle of the night travel from central London to places like Stanstead and Luton to save a tenner………..not my idea of a holiday

Yes but its not just a tenner they save its an almost extra day of holiday they gain.Anyway its fun getting up in the middle of the night!!

Thats only just over two weeks away!! Not that Im counting of course

Another site to try is www.cheapestflights.co.uk - you can still get a flight at around £90.00 early October from Gatwick to Faro. Good luck.

Don't forget TAP. I've just checked cheapestflights for mid october. They want £144, tap want £121. These are to Lisbon.

Try www.travelsupermarket.com they seem to search all prices and airlines including Easyjet, Last Minute and Expedia.

Hope this helps.
