Booking late flights

[Fanny]

Could you check and post your flight price the day before you leave just to see if my reckoning is right?

Here you go BJ, just checked my Monarch flights and the price is down to £129.50 including a meal - so yep, a saving of around £20 plus the meal that I'm not having BUT, I only looked at the price for one person so who knows if there's just one seat left?!

Reckon there's a chance you could save a stash if you like living on the edge haha - I couldn't cope with missing out if all the seats had gone or if the flights weren't ones I wanted
Good Luck and let us know how you get on

If I was going next Friday instead of tomorrow then TC is currently £120 with baggage. I'm definitely booking closer to my departure date next time.

Pahaha, typical woman in my case - for the first time EVER, I'm packed and sorted and it's only the day before
Am usually still ironing when the taxi comes
Only got me to sort out now! Startin to get excited!! yey!!

Well the day has arrived and I still haven't packed, best get a move on, have a great hol

Sounds like I got the same sort of deal as Kneale - Manc to Dalaman 3/6 landing at around 01.30 returning early hours of 11/6 for £165 return & including 20 kg hold luggage with Monarch. Booked it on 16/5/11

Take care on checking flight prices though - we were told by a TA that keeping on checking the prices can actually cause them to go up cos they think there's lots of interest??

Hope you manage to get the deal you want

Noticed that with hotels on some sites, they take a jump when you keep looking but if you leave it a few days they come back down again.
Incidently, been looking for flights in June and Onar came up at £91 for 7 nights with luggage, don't have the hols on the dates tho, bummer!

I've got the hols now but don't know if daughters passport will get here in time, and the flights are sitting at £61.

Well, we paid for the daughters passport to get fast-tracked and booked for £87 per person, prices went back down a day later then shot up before disapearing completly today, guessing the flight is full now.
So in summary, you couldn't follow a flight price with tracing paper and a pencil!
Think we were maybe lucky with what we paid but we're still going to leave the Sept. flight til later to see what turns up.
The best this months flight came in at was 15 days before the flight, ie. before the late charges get slung on!

Well I kept an eye on my flight for 23rd and it went from £90 to £66...booked it and now its up to £262 and thats from Prestwick....I normally go from either Glasgow or Edinburgh but I central to them all.
£66 was also including everything inc my luggage...
