Are flights expensive this year?

[Keith]

Trying to get prices on flights only from newcastle. J--2 quoting £582 each!! They are taking the biscuit. Anybody else having problems getting a good deal?

Hi Keith

I am going twice this year and have booked flights from Leeds Bradford (with J...2) and the prices are OK. Could have got cheaper but I just like this airline. My flights are June and September so I am guessing you are wanting peak season.

Would it be cheaper to get a package and not use the accommodation?

Got ours for £236.00 each from B'ham for July with Monarch everything in.

Hi Keith,
Booked 6 seats for May this year way back in last July.
Flying from N/castle with J** Too.. Flights, x leg room, baggage, seats plus other fees came to just under £300-00 each.
By booking early at low prices, we save enough to go out again in September.
Mind being pensioners helps cos we can be flexible with days & dates
Cheers, Geordie Mafia

Booked 2 seats from Humberside last week for 22nd May and they cost £212 each, thats less than we paid last year in Sept so well pleased. ( With T Cook and that includes 20Kg luggage)

Hmm Monarch do not fly out of Newcastle airport

[geordiespurs]

flights from newcastle are always more expensive then most other places, i put it down to not having any other airports nearby. except for durham tees which is dying a death i think.

Just checked and its only £382.96 in August from Newcastle, where did you get your prices from Keith, and when are you wanting to go?

Hi Keith

I believe J...2 are offering 10% discount on all flights at the moment. Enter SALE10 at the checkout.

Hi Keith
Use the search at the top of this page but don't enter the airport name. You may find that it would be much cheaper to travel to another airport if your local one is too expensive. Remember that you don't have to fly home to the some airport that you flew out from.

[adewolves]

NO. Monarch prices are creeping up again for August anyway. Will wait till end of May when I can hopefully afford it, if not then I aint going.

I had Monarch priced up for August, much cheaper than any others, then found a Saturday flight from Jet2 that was even cheaper. Not seen a Saturday flight from them before, so wonder if it's a new one with an introductory offer. Would have been even cheaper if I'd waited a week and got the current extra 10% off.

Skyscanner is absolutely the best place to find the cheapest flights too - try just putting the month in rather than the actual dates - we were fixed on going on Friday 10th til I did that and found it over £200 cheaper to go the following day. And, if you like Jet2 and don't mind a little travel to get a cheaper flight, they also seem to be very cheap from Glasgow

Jet 2 really are taking the biscuit this year.

I'm looking to go in may and we are very restricted to dates as the missus is pregnant so we're leaving it until the last possible date in hope of good weather. With Jet 2 flying from Newcastle on 10/11 May the two flights are coming out at around £780.

I'm very dubious about skyscanner also as they are quoting Jet 2 as the cheapest flights around this date when infact Thomas Cook are far cheaper, yet they don't show up??????

I'd much rather fly with Jet 2 as the little bit of extra legroom makes all the difference, however I may be forced to use Thomas Cook as I refuse to pay £2-300 extra for the same journey

Hi Tiberius,
just checked the skyscanner for Newcastle 14th to 29th May - coming in at £445.96, need bags added.

Just tried J--2 web site again this morning. Any northern airport came back with £415 ea from Leeds/ Bradford. Would prefer newcastle as only 40 mins from home and we have another family traveling with us so transport can become an issue the further you travel to airport.

[Keith]

Things are looking up. Just tried ICRs flight search and J--2 from newcastle has come up at £430 each.
